Police Animals Purple Poppy Ribbon Badge

Description

Police forces around the world have long relied on service animals to help prevent, detect, and solve crime. From the earliest days of policing, horses provided essential transport and remain a vital part of law enforcement today. Mounted police assist with search and rescue operations, patrol areas inaccessible to vehicles, manage large crowds, and support community engagement.

Police dogs play an equally critical role. They track offenders, locate missing persons, protect their handlers and fellow officers, and detect illegal substances.

These loyal and courageous animals serve alongside their human partners with dedication and bravery. On 24 February, War Animal Day, we honour their service and sacrifice. By wearing a purple poppy, we remember the animals who stand as the animal “thin blue line” in police services around the world.
