Gonzalez, added that "we are pioneers in having a dog unit in the demarcation. No local police officer has a canine unit within its operations, a fact that we are very proud of, as the professionalism and worthiness of our local police continues to be a reference. "

Victor Molleda, Chief of Staff of the Local Police Citizen Relations Group, explained that "the dog, who is duly cared for by a specialized company and is assigned to the local police, is trained in such a way that he thinks he is playing. Thus when he detects a substance, he takes a passive position by sitting at the feet of the subject and waiting for his toy as a reward. "

During the presentation, there was a small display of the unit before the audience.
