Highly skilled, fearless and a bit of a goofball, retiring Police dog Mint has proudly served the Canterbury community since 2018.

During this time, he served as a general purpose, AOS and STG dog; attending 3,083 jobs and apprehending 281 offenders in his career.

Mint hit the ground running after graduation in 2018, tracking and catching a burglar on his very first shift. That was just the start of his eventful and successful career.

Mint has now retired from Police and is enjoying his new home with a former Police dog handler, eating Vegemite toast most mornings for breakfast, sleeping inside the house and occasionally on the bed.

Thank you for your service Mint, enjoy your retirement.
