Indian Canine Units Trained for Narcotics Detection and Security Duties Nationwide
Two reports highlight the role of specially trained canines in India’s security and customs operations. The Punjab Home Guards Canine Training and Breeding Institute in Dera Bassi trains dogs using real substances for narcotics detection, explosives, and election security. Separately, five Labrador siblings trained near the Attari border serve in customs across various airports, successfully detecting narcotics like hydroponic cannabis. These dogs undergo extensive training and are deployed nationwide to support law enforcement efforts against illegal substances.
