1920s juries were not taken to crime scenes and so the murder scene of Emily Kaye in an Eastbourne bungalow was brought to them in 1924 thanks to the craft skills of PC Edward Er Onan Shelah (1890-1962) at Brixton Police Station. #CM150 #Museum30 #making #truecrime

We were delighted to be at the North West base dog trials this weekend, watching teams compete against each other in all elements of GP police dog duties

A great event with dogs showcasing their abilities & why they really are a formidable force when it comes to fighting crime
