The first counter-narcotics training for Central Asian officers has started at the Dog Handling Centre of the State Border Guard in Rēzekne, Latvia.
10 officers have been going through a training where they acquire sniffer dog-handling skills, as well as learn to share responsibility, vision and commitment to addressing illegal drug trafficking challenges.
This training is part of a counter-narcotics training project that NATO has been developing with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) since early 2016.
Footage includes counter-narcotic dogs training with their handlers to detect drugs, as well a soundbite in Latvian with the Head of the Dog handling service of the State Border Guard’s College Service and a soundbite in Russian with one of the participants to the course.
