While he’s new to the role, Soap was put to the test recently in a domestic violence case. 

“We located a suspect who fled the police from a domestic assault,” Pyne said. He added Soap also assisted on another recent domestic assault case and located the suspect by tracking the individual.

“It led to both of the suspects’ arrests,” Pyne said.  

The RCMP Police Dog Services has been with F Division since 1935.  PDS units are located strategically throughout the province, including North Battleford, Meadow Lake, Prince Albert, Swift Current, Saskatoon, Regina and Yorkton. Currently the F Division has seven police dogs.

In addition to serving the RCMP, Police Dog Services also assist municipal police-field personnel in investigations.
