Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeMalaysia’s K9 Unit, established in 1962, began with six dogs for crime prevention and now operates with 68 highly trained canines nationwide.
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 — In the fight against crime, few partners are as reliable and dedicated as the dogs of Malaysia’s K9 Unit. In 1959, 10 police officers volunteered as dog handlers. By 1961, PDRM secured government funding to acquire six dogs from the Commonwealth Force in the United Kingdom and in 1962, the K9 troop was formally established, comprising six dogs dedicated to crime prevention operations.
“Some dogs with inherently aggressive temperaments are typically trained for crime prevention and are unsuitable for bomb detection work. Bomb detection dogs are meticulously trained to sniff, point, and sit to alert their handlers, whereas crime prevention dogs tend to sniff and dig the ground. PDRM sends a team of trainers, a veterinary doctor, and a Home Ministry personnel to assess dogs at breeding facilities in Germany, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands.
“If the dogs are suitable for narcotics detection, we begin training them to identify narcotic materials. German Shepherds are typically used for apprehending crime suspects and conducting mantrailing to locate missing persons.
