Dubai Police’s K9 unit gives visitors a glimpse of their skills at the Expo 2020 Dubai

Dubai: The Dubai Police Security Inspection Unit K9 showcased their highly-skilled dogs during a demonstration at the Expo 2020 Dubai.

Attracting a crowd of onlookers, the contraband-detecting canines performed a series of obedience tasks. The event highlighted the professionalism of the Dubai Police in training the animals to follow their instructions.

Major Salah Al Mazrouei, Director of Dubai Police Security Inspection K9 Unit, said, “Today’s shows are presented by four participating police dogs. The shows demonstrate their obedience and ability to detect prohibited items. Visitors can also take pictures with the dogs, and we’ll provide them with information about the training.”

Major Al Mazrouei said each dog has a specialty ranging from riot control and illicit substance detection to finding missing people, explosives, fires, and COVID-19 cases.

Preparing a police dog for these duties starts with establishing a relationship with its handlers, followed by two to three months of training.

Major Al Mazrouei added that the shows will be held every Saturday until March 31.
