The DS/ATA’s EOD/K9 initiative recognizes that a well-trained EOD/K9 with an experienced handler is an excellent tool in locating explosive devices. To develop this capability in the Philippines, DS/ATA began assisting the PNP in early 2007 with the establishment of an EOD/K-9 facility for the PNP National Capital Region Police Office. The facilities include kennels, a veterinary clinic. and billeting for EOD/K9 handlers.(pr)
