You don't need any GCSE's to become a police officer, but there are some that may help you more than others to be an eligible candidate for the role. Firstly, the obvious English, Maths and Science are always helpful. Secondly, languages are really good to have, so like I took Welsh and Spanish, you may have different ones like French or German or something. If you're choosing your GCSE's now, you should go for something you enjoy doing to break it up a little, or you might want to choose something that sounds applicable to the work of a police officer, like Economics or something

To become a police officer, which is needed to become a dog handler, you have to undergo some tests. If they deem you fit and able minded you will then undergo training. After 2 or 3 years you may apply to be a police dog handler.
You do not need any GCSE's to enter the police force, you may need a lot of experience and time to learn to become one. However its important that your fit.

All police canine handlers are first and foremost police officers. Therefore you need only pass the requirements to be a police officer to become employed. THEN, you may wish to become a handler, and if selected, you and the canine will attend a training school. Depending on your skill and that of the dog this may last for several weeks or more, and you are always subject to ongoing refresher training.

Policeman.Asdded: One of the really good things about law enforecment is that there are so many sub-specialties involved in it. You can enjoy uniformed patrol - you can become a detective - you can become a dog handler - you can become a CSI - etc - etc.
"K-9" is a bastardization of "Canine". K-9 units usually consist of a Handler or dog trainer and a police dog.

Most likely because they love dogs and want to be part of the police force i guess
The most obvious answer, for me, is that police dogs can respond consistently and quickly to commands. Police dogs also know their chain of command: they are not dominant. Depending on what the police dog has been trained for, they can also detect bombs, drugs, cadavers. These dogs are also trained to apprehend persons (only when told by their handler), and are trained to do so in a way that will not allow for the suspect to sue the handler/police agency.
As with any specialist job experience is key. Having a Dog is not a necessity but it will sure help you to reach your desired goal a hell of a lot faster, whether this is to be a uniformed dog handler (Services) or to be a competition handler. Having Previous experience with any animal handling job is sensible as it makes you more comfortable and skilled when handling the animal. You wouldn't get into a Ferrari and drive at 100Mph when you've never driven a car before its the same with dogs the more experience you have the better you become. Any other questions you may have feel free to message me with your queries i was a police dog handler for 20 years and have now moved into competition handling. Hope this helped, James
