The eleven Belgian Malitnoise and Golden Retriever breed dogs were also involved in securing the marriage celebration of Kaesang Pangarep - Erina Gudono in Surakarta, Central Java. The animals were deployed by the Central Java Police to carry out sterilization and detection of explosives during the procession.
The Head of the Animal Task Force for securing activities, Kompol Tourakhman, said the tracking dogs were brought in by the Ditsamapta of the Central Java Police and eight police officers.
"Apart from the K-9 Ditsamapta Polda, the animals involved came from a number of Polres such as the Kendal Police, the Surakarta Police and several Polres in the Soloraya area," said Tourakhman in a written statement, Thursday, December 8.
The dogs, he said, are highly trained and will be placed at three strategic points, namely the starting point of the kirab in Loji Gandrung, along the carnival route and the location of the tasyakuran at Mangkunegaran Temple.
"There are 26 Polri personnel and 11 breed dogs assigned to this Animal Subsatgas. They are distributed at three points, namely Loji Gandrung, kirab crossing and Mangkunegaran Temple. However, most of them are placed along the crossing of the kirab, namely six dogs," said the man who works at the Ditsamapta Polda Central Java.
"The main task will be tracking later, focusing on sterilizing explosives around the activity site," he added
He said that sterilization was a routine procedure carried out by the National Police in securing an important activity. People are expected not to be afraid of the presence of dogs from the Police K-9 unit in the field
"They are quite familiar and experienced. Even so, they are very vigilant and tested in setting explosives at a location," he said
