7. Nick Graves – Explosives Search Dog Handler

Nick joins the team bringing with him an immense amount of operational experience and expertise.

With almost 20 years service as an Operational Police Patrol Dog Handler Nick is the archetypical “Career Dog Handler” who, despite qualifying for promotion some years ago, chose to stay faithful to his chosen career consisitently displaying success as a “Thief Taker with a Dog”.

Nick has trained countless German

Shepherds for the Patrol Dog Role - several of which were also trained by him as Firearm Support Dogs - and has been a trouble-shooter for less experienced handlers especially in tracking skills where he excels.

As a keen sportsman, Nick’s competitive nature has never waned, and whenever Kent Dog Unit have been involved in Police Dog Trials, Nick has always been a sure bet as a qualifier, competing at Regional and National Level on numerous occasions, and more recently, coaching Kent Police Trials Qualifiers to the Nationals.

Nick has operated a highly successful drugs search dog for the past 10 years and as a man who accumulated 6 commendations and certificates as a Police Officer, he looks forward to his new challenge with Kovert as an Explosives Search Dog Handler.
