Metro Police seeks dogs for training
Durban Metro police are seeking German Shepherds and Malinois dog breeds, to be donated, in their bid to beef up law enforcement and crime-fighting efforts.
THE Durban Metro Police Department is reaching out to the public for assistance in sourcing dogs to be trained as police dogs.
“We specifically require German Shepherds and Malinois breeds, preferably between the ages of 18 months to two years old. It is crucial that the dogs meet certain criteria to be considered for training within the police structure. However, if a dog does not meet the necessary standards, it will be returned to the owner.
“Your co-operation and contribution will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in assisting the efforts of preventing crime in the dedicated police force,” said spokesperson for Durban Metro Police, Colonel Boysie Zungu.
Should one wish to donate a dog that meets the requirements, please contact Lt. Col. Raoof on 083 261 4315 or Inspector Hammond on 071 515 5990.
