PD Peach gives a statement but the only problem is, PD Peach a dog!

We dedicate this post to our new officer in Blogville Officer Bites who can be found over Here!

Police dog handlers are all too aware of how crucial their four-legged colleagues are in the investigation of many crimes. However over in the West Midlands police could be in the doghouse after someone from the force filled out a witness statement on behalf of one of their police dogs named Peach. The statement was brief and to the point and said: ‘I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy Peach.’ It also came complete with a signature from Peach the Alsatian, a print of the paw and stated that the age of the witness was four and that his number was PD4341. When the Crown Prosecution Service demanded a witness statement from Peach, officers realised that it would be taking their canines’ skills a step too far. They wrote back explaining that PC Peach was in fact PD Peach, stressing that PD stood for police dog but to no avail. Eventually, the handler completed a form as if it had been written by the Alsatian signing it with a paw print. The Professional Standards Department have stated they are looking into this and early enquiries suggest it is a light-hearted exchange as a result of a misunderstanding around a police dog and a police officer. The CPS, however, failed to see the funny side and complained to the police that their mistake had been turned into a very public joke. Typical of the CPS being dogmatic about getting statements from literally anyone and everyone! I bet they are woofing woeful that everyone is laughing at them. Told you the law can be an ass! Does that mean CPS stands for Clown Prosecution Service?
