Salamun Alaykum
We will be having a police K9 Dog service training demonstration at 3 pm opposite to the food vendor stall at Jaffari Community Centre (9000 Bathurst Street, ON, L4J 8A7). Some of the quick facts about these RCMP police dogs are as follow:
- A dog can search a car in approximately three minutes.
- Dogs can work up to four hours with rest intervals.
- Currently, there are 112 RCMP dog teams across Canada.
- The estimated cost to train a member and dog team is $60,000.
- Healthy police service dogs cost less than $1,000 annually to maintain.
- On average, a police service dog retires at the age of seven.
With Salaams and duas,
