  B.S.A.Police - Rhodesia

  • Patrol Officer - Dog Section

    • Nov 1968 - Jun 1974

    An important 'growing up' stage of my life. Initially as a Cadet Officer and then training as a Police Officer in the BSAP Rhodesia was the equivelent of the Metropolitan Police in Gt Britain, the Hongkong Police Force and the Palestine Police Force. Training and experience was intensive with Police work, driver training up to a full heavy duty EC1 vehicle, medical, equitation, anti terrorist experience, etc. The Dog Section and resultant war experience was very 'hairy' but memorable. In Memory of PD 258 Schapps - we had the best 3 years together. RIP my friend.
