LEO, a 12 year old German Shephard who served as the first police dog for the Durham Regional Police, passed away at his home on Monday April 15th, 2002. Arriving in Durham Region from Holland in 1992, Leo served the Durham Regional Police Service until his retirement in June of 1996. With his handler PC Peter Vanderduim, LEO set the standard by which all police dogs are, and will continue continue to be judged in Durham Region according to Sgt. Paul Malik, of the Durham REgional Police. Peter and LEO were local fixtures, appearing before hundreds of community groups and conducting countless countless public demonstrations. "Leo was an incredible police dog, the picture of control control at all times," says Malik. "There was never a moment in his career where he did not react exactly as he had been trained to react. It was because of his 'outstanding' reputation that the Durham Police Canine Unit was able to achieve success and expand. In his six-year career he effected over 160 arrests while only once delivering a bite. His size and presence was an intimidating factor for the bad guys!" The Canine Unit, members of the service and community members who had contact with him during his career will fondly remember "LEO". Our condolences also go out to his handler and best friend, Constable Peter Vanderduim.
