Police Dogs Achieve New Milestones in Drug Enforcement

Since the start of the year, police dogs in Kyiv have discovered over 50 kg of drugs. Alongside their handlers, they operate at checkpoints, subway stations, and are involved in operational activities and authorized searches.  This was reported by the press service of the National Police. 
Law enforcement officers and their four-legged assistants have responded to more than 130 calls aimed at detecting narcotics. In total, over 11 months, service dogs have aided police in locating and seizing more than 50 kg of prohibited substances, including heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, Alpha-PVP, methadone, and cannabis.
"This is the result of 7 dedicated dogs who serve around the clock with their handlers. Meet our four-legged team: Labradors Leo and Norma, Malinois Chase, German Shepherds Thor and Kasta, and Spaniels Ornella and Coconut," said the National Police. 
Law enforcement emphasizes that despite the ingenuity of drug traffickers and the concealment of their goods, these canine detectives find their targets regardless of the circumstances - whether it's hidden in household items, specially designed hideouts, in remote corners of vehicles, or camouflaged under stones and buried deep in the ground.
