So today we had a teacher come to our class but she wasn’t actually being a teacher, she was telling us about becoming a police officer because on Monday she is officially becoming a cop and since being a police woman is one of my dream jobs I was quite extract so I tried to ask questions that would be suitable for a police officer.
After the questions went off to write our blog, I started to wonder about police dogs. While we were sitting on the mat listening to the police officer/teacher she explained about the delta team which is the people who have police dogs. “Like the people you see on dog squad” she said.
So I started wondering if a Belgian Malinois could be a police dog because they are very good at tracking, protecting and sniffing but then again, every dog is good at sniffing but it also depends on the speed and strength of the dog which makes it scary but also useful.
She explained how exactly you become a delta police officer. First you need to foster your own dog then go into training with that dog for I think three years then you say goodbye to that dog which is kind of sad but then you start working with a new dog.
After explaining how to become a delta she told us the 6 values of being an officer. The six values are being Courageous, having Respect having Empathy, Committed, being Professional and having integrity.
