A two-week canine training course on firearms, components and ammunition detection recently launched by the Homeland Security Ministry aims to equip canine units and their handlers with internationally certified skills in scent detection, tactical deployment, and interdiction of illegal arms at high-risk points such as airports, ports, and border crossings.
A release from the ministry said the course began on July 7 at CSI Canine Consulting Group Ltd, St. James. It said this course represents a critical national investment in frontline security capability and a strategic response to the growing threat of illicit firearms trafficking.
It said the training initiative is being delivered through a strategic partnership with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and CSI Canine Consulting Group Ltd, with support from Germany.
