Feb 01 - RGP Hosts Visit By Spanish Police Dog Handlers

Written by YGTV Team on 01 February 2016.

The Royal Gibraltar Police Dog Section recently hosted a visit by a delegation comprising Spanish Policia Local officers from Algeciras, Burgos and Seville amongst others. Officers included Dog Handlers, Instructors and Supervisors.

The visit is part of the force’s policy of developing partnerships with key law enforcement stakeholders at regional and international level.

The delegation was met by Commissioner of Police Eddie Yome, who was presented with a copy a book written by one of the visitors, titled “El trabajo con perros de protección ciudadana en Policia Local” (Working with Policia Local citizen protection dogs).

Throughout the course of the day, discussions were held on current operational procedures followed by a tour of facilities and demonstrations on tracking, person search, evidence gathering and protective/criminal work conducted by RGP Dog handlers.

This latest visit forms part of the RGP Dog Section’s ongoing relationship with other Spanish Policia Local dog units and more importantly, the South Yorkshire Police Dog School, who licence all RGP dogs/handlers annually, and who supported last week’s visit.
