Handler – PC Stu Hazard<\/p>\n
\u2018Wonderful\u2019 Nottinghamshire police dog dies<\/strong><\/p>\n Razor, a lovable and good-natured German shepherd, joined Nottinghamshire Police as a puppy on 2011 and was paired with experienced handler PC Stu Hazard. In the seven years that followed, the pair made for a formidable crime-fighting duo \u2013 helping to secure hundreds of arrests and locating dozens of missing people. On one freezing winter\u2019s night, PC Hazard and Razor were called to help in the hunt for a missing nine-year-old boy who had gone missing from his home in rural Nottinghamshire. The boy was eventually found huddled under a hedgerow by Razor, who had picked up his scent and led officers to his location. PC Hazard said: \u201cThere is absolutely no way on earth we would have found him without Razor, and with the weather the way it was he potentially saved his life that night. \u201cI remember how grateful his parents were at the time and it\u2019s a really proud memory to look back on. \u201cBut ultimately it was just another example of the dog making me look good. \u201cIt was really never the other way around.\u201d On another occasion Razor tracked down a man wanted in connection with a woman\u2019s death. After a manhunt lasting several days he was found hiding out in a residential area of Nottingham. PC Hazard added: \u201cHe really was just a wonderful dog in every way. \u201cHe actually had a great temperament and was a really lovable and gentle dog. \u201cBut when you switched him into work mode he was did exactly what was required of him \u2013 and that really is a special quality in any working dog. \u201cDue to personal circumstances I had to rehome him with a wonderful couple, where he had a fantastic retirement. \u201cIn the time we spent together we formed a really special bond. \u201cHe loved me and I loved him. \u201cWhen I learned he had died I was absolutely gutted but it also evoked some fantastic memories and I felt a huge amount of pride in what we had achieved together.\u201d Razor retired from the force in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Handler – PC Stu Hazard \u2018Wonderful\u2019 Nottinghamshire police dog dies Razor, a lovable and good-natured German shepherd, joined Nottinghamshire Police as a puppy on 2011 and was paired with experienced handler PC Stu Hazard.
