SEOUL, Aug. 14 (Korea Bizwire) – In a move to strengthen international cooperation in law enforcement, South Korea is set to share its advanced police dog training system with Mongolia.
On August 13, the Korean National Police Agency’s Human Resources Development Institute announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Mongolia’s Border Protection Agency.
The ceremony took place at the Border Protection Agency’s headquarters in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital.
The agreement outlines several key areas of collaboration, including the exchange of police dog utilization techniques, the establishment of regular training programs, and the promotion of joint research and mutual exchanges in the field of canine law enforcement.
As part of this initiative, a team of experts from the Comprehensive Police Dog Training Center, a division of the Human Resources Development Institute, will conduct on-site practical training for Mongolia’s Border Protection Agency until August 16.
The South Korean delegation comprises specialists in various fields, including counterterrorism, missing person searches, and criminal investigations. These experts plan to establish an ongoing collaborative framework with their Mongolian counterparts.
Park Sung-ju, Director of the Police Human Resources Development Institute, emphasized the significance of this partnership.
“Police dogs have consistently performed tasks efficiently and effectively in various situations where human capabilities are limited,” he said.
“We expect that police dogs will play a crucial role in establishing public order in both South Korea and Mongolia as part of the broader Korean Wave in law enforcement practices.”
