On September 4th, the junior students majoring in police dog technology at Beijing Police College ushered in an exciting and special moment in their learning career - choosing a police dog "partner" who will fight side by side with them in the future. German Shepherd, Horse Dog, Springer, Labrador...... 40 students selected their own police dogs by drawing lots, and are about to start a one-year training with dogs. When the "double graduation of humans and dogs" is reached, they will also join the police camp together.
Police dog technology students receive their partner police dogs
The third-year students majoring in police dog technology at the Beijing Police College lined up neatly, drawing lots one by one with full expectations, and selecting police dogs in a fair and open way.
The juniors choose their own police dogs by drawing lots
"I just wanted to take a German pastor, but I didn't expect to be really chosen." Student Hu Zuyang found the corresponding kennel according to the number he drawn, and when he saw the police dog inside, he couldn't help but be excited. According to the teacher's request, he squatted down, through the fence door of the kennel, stretched out his hand to familiarize the police dog with his smell, gently stroked his "comrade-in-arms", and then took out the ham sausage to give a reward. This German shepherd dog is also extraordinarily calm, neither barking nor pounced, and soon became familiar with Hu Zuyang, and the whole process is very cooperative.
"I have a German pastor at home, and I have been with me since I was a child, and I chose this major in order to be able to engage in the police dog career." Hu Zuyang named his police dog "Dragon Boat Festival", "Because the Dragon Boat Festival is healthy, I hope it is happy, safe, healthy and healthy." ”
"Dragon Boat Festival, come here, sit." Hu Zuyang issued an order, and the "Dragon Boat Festival" obediently obeyed and complied. "Teacher, let me show you" "My dog can listen to instructions now", Hu Zuyang couldn't help but praise the teacher and classmates.

The first meeting between the girl Liu Zihan and the police dog partner was "a lot of good things". The Springer spaniel she selected was the youngest of these police dogs, just 8 months old, and she was still a little scared of life, so she stayed in the kennel all the time, and couldn't let Liu Zihan tease her. Under the teacher's on-site teaching, Liu Zihan entered the kennel and slowly walked to the police dog's side, asking it to let down its guard and build trust. After a while, it changed its appearance when it walked out of the kennel under the guidance of Liu Zihan, looking around excitedly and sniffing around.
"Springer has a keen sense of smell, mostly used to search for drugs and explosives, and has a feeling of small size and big energy, I just want a Springer, and I am very happy to be able to draw today." Liu Zihan said that she had already named the police dog "Sui Sui", because the work of the police dog is also dangerous, "I hope it can live a long life."
"My family used to have a German herd, when I was a child I couldn't swim, when I was playing by the river, the dog was afraid that I was in danger, so he kept dragging me to the shore, I was very moved." Liu Zihan said that because she was protected by dogs when she was a child, she also hopes to help and protect more people with her police dogs in the future. "I can now imagine us playing side by side in the future."
Two students share their joy when they received the dogs
Zhao Peng, head of the teaching and research department of police dog technology at Beijing Police College, said that students majoring in police dogs must have a high sense of responsibility and patience. In the next year, they will establish an affinity with their police dogs, starting from some basic subjects such as sniffing, picking, and obedience, and then to the training of subjects such as explosive search, drug search, physical evidence search, search and arrest, and guarding. When they graduate, the school will conduct a double assessment of students and their police dogs, so as to achieve the goal of "double graduation of humans and dogs". After graduation, the police dog will report to the work with the students and become their right-hand man in their work.
As police dogs play an important combat role in the public security organs' efforts to combat violent crimes, drug crimes, criminal investigations, and maintain public order, the demand for police dog technical professionals is also increasing year by year. With the continuous improvement of professional construction and the continuous improvement of students' comprehensive quality, there will be more outstanding police dog technical police talents into the public security team in the future.
