I have been trying to get into the Police since 2006 but as yet I have not been successful. I am currently an Immigration Officer with UKBA but I can not be a dog handler within UKBA due to the handlers being a grade below me- DH’s are Assistant Immigration or Assistant Customs Officers. The information I have on the RAVC and the DH role is very limited and I would like to know more about what the DH role entails, qualifications, how they are used ect. I know working with animals is a vocation not a job. Without sounding pink and fluffy this is something I am really interested in and I feel that I could be good at. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
