Police dog Stevie has served with West Mercia Police for a nine years and it's now time to hang up his lead and relax with a well deserved treat.
PCSO Katy Balaam, of the team at Brookside in Telford said: "Over the course of his duties Stevie has saved the lives of three vulnerable and sick missing persons and has also located a number of suspects in fields, woodland, under cars and in water.
"He has supported firearms teams, search teams and local policing areas on a number of warrants.
"Enjoy your retirement PD Stevie."
