The dogs of the K9 unit go through months of training to form a strong bond with their accompanying officer and to specialize in detecting drugs, weapons, explosives, and money.
In 'Exclusive', through a long process of socialization and training, it is narrated how they prepare for field operations, where their sense of smell and reaction become crucial in detecting criminal activities.
Each one has a name, and their date of birth is written on the cage. Each one of them will have only one police officer accompanying them on duty. The dog will have a collar with the words “Police” written on it, and the officer will wear a police uniform. If the two of them are not socialized with each other, it will be like the case of a dog escaping during training, refusing to take orders from the inspector.
"This type of dog did not have good socialization with the instructor. In fact, the instructor received four, because the basis of success is socialization with the companion. The policeman must have a calm temperament, on a voluntary basis, not be forced, have stability, have the relationship with the dog to work individually and in a group and adapt quickly. The companion must feel himself the leader, but the dog must emerge victorious, know how to play with it. Never take it by force", said the head of training Petrit Bushati.
"Here she is in preschool, you could say. I've had her for three months. It's about socializing her, bonding with her. Knowing her name, I go to the shelter and say "Hera". The first few days she doesn't understand, but by going to her often "Hera, Hera", she understands that it's Hera. Then I teach her with the ball. If she gets the ball, she does everything. I managed to get the ball from her. Now I'm at the stage where I want to hide and she will look for it" , says police trainer Astrit Kovaçi.
Through these games, "K9" is trained to sniff out drug doses, explosives, weapons, and money, taking him out of the classroom and into the field.
"Today it's hashish, other times with cocaine, cannabis in the form of chocolate. They will hide these in the seat and we make the connection with the smell with the fetch ball. Then we separate them, put them in the car and when they find it we reward them. This is the theory of conditioning: they find this and I give them this. They always react to drugs and, when they come to local structures, they constantly do exercises", says coach Shaqir Bardhoshi.
"It's empty, without cartridges. It's safe, but I don't know how to open it. The dog that trains for weapons is separated from explosives and we follow EU practices. I'm introducing you to my colleague. His name is Ashi, he's two years old, he's Sambi. He has four narcotic specialties. He says he found it," says Deputy Commissioner Ilir Balla.
