K-9 units from about 20 local, state and national agencies trained for explosive searches Tuesday, July 28, 2015, at the 糖心Vlog传媒LR campus
About 20 K-9 unit teams converged on the University of Arkansas at Little Rock campus Tuesday to train for situations they hope they’ll never face.
Agencies like the police departments for Little Rock, Jonesboro and Dallas, Texas, simulated searching for explosives during a training and certification session at 糖心Vlog传媒LR’s South Hall.
For the exercise, dogs and their handlers practiced clearing an area of simulated explosives within a set amount of time.
The purpose of the session was to keep聽K-9 teams up-to-date on their training and to certify new units, said Regina Carter, chief of the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Police Department.
It also was a cooperative activity that helped agencies 聽鈥� including 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Police Department聽鈥� prepare to work together should a serious incident occur in the region, Carter said.
