Sniffer dog

[JackiePreece]

Hartley WHEN the case is referred to the COA I am sure all this will come out

[bloggs and son]

Ngb would you say that it was very likely a dog used to sniff gun residue etc would have been called as the basis of the initial investigation/phone call was My sister has gone crazy and she has a gun

There are numerous police dogs in Essex that could have been chosen that night

Well as Hartley says the mystery could be cleared up if someone contacts Mercer. Any volunteers?

Hi lookout I was just thinking about you out looking for the dog hope you found it.  I was born not very far from where you use to stay I will give the other forum a good laugh now I don,t have a whippet or a cloth cap or cloggs but I do have a strong Yorkshire accent.  Still not got to weeds got held up passing the oven which I thought was not its usual shining self is now so I am off weeding what a hoot :D

[lookout]

Obviously the dog wouldn't have been trained to sniff out drugs as well. They weren't as prevalent back then as now. Yes,Grahame,the Spaniels are the drug-sniffers.Very clever animals.
I mention drugs, as Nevill kept cannabis in the safe. To keep Sheila calm,presumably.!

I'm not sure JR will have much success.  We could be waiting a very long time....

Well my grass needs cutting. I could only lay in the sun yesterday if I had a periscope.

Well in that case I could imagine the dogs laying on their backs sniffing the weed and most of the coppers as well.

Things could move on quicker than you think with any gems still held under PII

Things can change in an instant

Grahame  you are so funny I am just thinking of them all being spaced out as high as kites after sniffing the weed must admit my garden weeds are not one of the same next thing on the other side is I grow weed

Susan, there wasn't a Yorkshire accent between any of the relatives,in fact they hadn't adopted the local accent at all,as when I returned back home,to Lancashire, I was laughed at because I'd picked up a very " cut-glass " way of speaking. A bit like the Queen's back in the 50's. Needless to say,it toned down during my teenage years. Perhaps because aunt was a schoolteacher in those days.

It is possible, but I suspect the priority for the police at that stage was more protection rather than detection. 

[JackiePreece]

Ngb would a dog be used for protection if guns were involved or could a dog be used to tell where someone was hiding in a large house that might have already fired a gun

To find that person that had used the gun and protect officers going into a very dangerous situation

Hi lookout  I can assure you myself and my family did not speak "cut glass" English more like broken glass although because my husband is Scottish maybe my accent has been toned slightly after living with him for so long.  Different parts of Yorkshire speak differently just listen to William Haigh and he comes from the "posh" bit or Yorkshire and Bernard Ingham who comes from my part although he is a little more posh now than he was.  I am being called

Yes, sometimes dogs are used where weapons are involved.  The reality is that it is considered acceptable to send a dog into a dangerous situation where the risk to a police officer is considered too great.  I have witnesses this myself.

The police dog or dogs there that night failed to scent the track of the figure seen scampering away another matter not cleared up.
