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

What can a police dog do that regular dogs can't?
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.
Does prior experience with dogs help to become a dog handler?
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
