His career saw him help assist in hundreds of arrests but the biggest challenge was when he and his trusty partner PC Ian Sweeney were tracking down an attempted murderer in Grimsby.
“I thought I may be sending him to his death to protect me. I got hit in the face three times and Logan was also shot in the mouth and head three times – but, despite his injuries, he still detained him successfully.
Now aged eight-and-a-half, PD Logan is enjoying retirement after moving to Humberside Police from South Yorkshire Police’s breeding programme. He had no training at all when he was partnered with PC Sweeney, but that didn’t stop him. “He was a natural with his scent detection and tracking; I’ve never known a dog like him. He had a faultless career; he was very diverse, and he always passed all of his assessments and never put a paw wrong. He was the dream dog.
Among his highlights were tracking down a high-risk missing person in December 2020, which means medics could save the man’s life, peventing major public disorder at a football match in Grimsby where 200 fans clashed in the streets, finding six illegal immigrants all by himself and hunting down a gang responsibly for stealing high-powered cars.
