UNAM Welcomes Two Highly Trained Detection Dogs for Campus Security
The Federal Government has gifted two trained canine teams to the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). These dogs will strengthen the university's efforts in risk prevention and detection. Their arrival was marked by a demonstration attended by UNAM's rector, Leonardo Lomelí Vanegas.
The two new dogs have joined UNAM's Canine Rescue and Detection Unit, which operates under the General Directorate of Analysis, Protection, and Security. This unit now has a total of 17 working dogs, including the latest additions.
Both animals specialise in locating firearms and explosives. Their skills were showcased in a live demonstration, where they performed detection tasks in front of university officials. The event highlighted how the dogs will contribute to safety measures on campus and beyond.
The donation expands UNAM's capacity to respond to potential threats involving explosives and weapons. The two dogs will work alongside existing teams within the university's security unit. Their training and deployment aim to enhance prevention efforts in high-risk situations.
