Police Dogs Trained (Tijuana Press, 11/10/12 by Nora Leticia Garcia)
Tijuana, BC – Police dogs were trained by transporting canine groups aboard a helicopter as well as in the field for searching and tracking people. According to the Ministry of Public Security of the SSPE State, the State Coordinator of the State Preventive Police (PEP) K9 unit, Fernando Enrique Paniagua Legaspi, said that training was also provided to dogs of the State prison system and municipal police in Tijuana and Mexicali.
In a statement he gave, the main exercise was to respond to the escape of prisoners at the Center for Social Reintegration at Cereso Hongo. The aim of canine units was locating and arresting fugitives by land, as well as by air with the support of PEP aviation units.
Those who served as fugitives were given time to get away and hide as far as possible from the Cereso, then were followed by a dog unit on the ground while another group of police dogs were brought in by a PEP helicopter that took off from the heliport of the Hongo.
After several minutes searching in the vicinity, two PEP K9 units found and followed the three fugitives as they raced in different directions and were located approximately 1,700 meters away from the penitentiary, reported SSPE. http://www.tijuanapress.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8124:adiestran-a-perros-policias-de-varias-corporaciones&catid=1:locales&Itemid=50
