Ive seen this NCP vehicle twice now patrolling the Asda/NCP carpark in Folkestone.

I'll try and get a photo next time, but its basically a white dog van, with the NCP logo and then says "K9 Unit".

Cant seem to find any information or pictures online, but why would NCP need a dog unit?!

    Well, here in Manchester at least I understand certain NCP carparks are frequented by drug users and other 'people of the night', so sounds a good deterrent.

    Perhaps they would be the brains of the partnership ? ;)

    Maybe they got it on the cheap from the previous owners and are trying to act tough

    But does it contain a dog?
    The only species in the van is probably the goon driving it who will no doubt have a lower IQ than even the dimmest dog!

    A dog can be regarded as an offensive weapon. It's no different to parking attendants wandering around the car park with a club.

    In some countries that's punishable by lashing.

    Oh, you mean the breed of dog? :-)
