A waste of money if they go ahead with an inquiry

Sometimes we have to accept the best decision was taken at the time of the incident and leave it at that

Yes id agree with that word sometimes! Sometimes the decision at the time is best left sometimes not! Depends on the circumstances  of each case and the repercussions for others.

Quote from the owner of the dog:-

Chf Supt Sacha Hatchett said: "He [the owner] said he appreciates that given the risk to human life, the officers made the correct decision. He is supportive of the police as had there been a serious accident he said he could not have lived with himself."

So why the enquiry??

and before anyone gets up in arms i am a dog owner, but better the dog than the alternative.

in my experience of enquiries these have lead to an evaluation of circumstances/actions and possible suggested improvements to future similar events. Even when sometimes they establish that there was no alternative action such enquires are no bad thing in many cases.

The Police are proving they are neither above the law nor too arrogant to learn by mistakes. The inquiry will either vindicate the Police or make suggestions for a different action in the future. Well done to the Police service for reporting themselves.

Think that the Welsh police are not helped by the fact that on Thursday a similar incident on the M5 had a happy ending as the police took different action. 

Fancy the police putting the safty of people before dogs! 

I would haver thought the owner of that dog should be the one facing  inquiry.

Write your comments here...Yes I agree - To let his dog run out of control on a public highway plus the damage to the police vehicle plus allowing his dog to bite a police officer is criminal and he should be prosecuted, tried, convicted and spend a few months in the clink.

I would assume the owner will be prosecuted for having a dog dangerously out of control in a public place. Especially as I believe it bit a police officer.

The police can shut motorways and a roads when there is an accident, why didn't they put a couple of police cars on this road and closed it. They do it for traffic accidents. The police officer who ran over this dog should be put up in court for animal cruelty. I am an amimal lover and this should not have been allowed to happen.
