Award for PD Boris

A much-loved Lincolnshire Police Dog, who dedicated much of his life to protecting the public has been recognised posthumously by leading veterinary charity PDSA with a Commendation Award.  

Police Dog Boris, a Belgian Malinois, who served alongside his handler PC Karl Pownall for seven years until he retired in 2022, made a significant contribution to policing across Lincolnshire.

Chief constable Paul Gibson said: “PD Boris, who died in September 2025, served Lincolnshire’s public with distinction, intervening in so many scenarios that could have escalated and presented further risk to members of the public, as well as our officers and recommendations during his years of service.”
