As an experiment, the Bengaluru City Police has adopted stray dogs and are training them for the department’s canine unit. After West Bengal Police and Uttarakhand Police’s canine squad successfully launched the initiative, the police force in Karnataka too joined in to help Indian breeds often harassed and tortured on streets.
“We are training Indies to be part of our Police Canine Unit as an experiment,” tweeted Bhaskar Rao of Bengaluru police.
The official handle too shared some videos about the initiative and how they plan to execute the plan.

In a video shared by the force, Dr. Rohini Katoch Sepat, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), Bengaluru said they now have “an army of 25 dogs” who have been getting training. As most police stations already had strays in its vicinity, the force started to take care of them and provide proper training as they already were acting like ‘watchdogs for the stations’.
