KARACHI: The Sindh police have decided to reactivate a decade-old canine unit to train sniffer dogs to detect bombs, narcotics and tracking of criminals in different phases, it emerged on Saturday.
Official sources said that the provincial government had earmarked funds to not only expand this unit to other parts of the province but to establish a centre as well in the metropolis for breeding of dogs.
They said that the first-ever canine unit of the Sindh police was launched around 12 years ago with the stated aim to improve police’s focus on detection of explosives and tracking of criminals.
