) - Some of the country’s top police K-9 teams are in Foley this week, competing in the U-S Police Canine Association’s PD-1 Nationals. Hosted by Foley Sports Tourism along with Foley PD, it’s like a canine Olympics for police patrol dogs. Wednesday, September 27, 2023, half of the field, including several of our local teams took part in the “Apprehension with Gunfire” drill.
For many of the teams competing in the Nationals, this is one of the more difficult exercises to master. The police dogs will have to overcome the adrenalin rush that comes from a combination of gunfire, chase and apprehension. Niko is a Belgian Malinois, one of the more athletic breeds represented and known for their speed. Other common breeds of police dogs like the German Shepard may not have the speed but still have all the tools to make the grade.
“SWAT and K9 are the two areas in law enforcement that are really male-dominated, but we’re making gains,” Cummings said. “I mean, there’s five of us, I think here out of what, almost a hundred guys so we’re definitely…we’re still the minority but we like to come out here and try to break the mold and show that us girls can do it too.”
