How do you go from a skilled dog specialist to a Frontex-certified instructor? 👨🎓 💡 For one, you can take part in the European Course for Canine Team Instructors – special training for experienced dog handlers, who want to train other officers on how to work with service dogs 🐶 👋 We meet Anton Radu from the #Frontex Academy, as well as Ivo and Baiba, two participants in the course. Watch their practical exams and find out what it takes to be a dog handler and instructor! The course is for all law enforcement officers: border guards, policemen, firemen 👮♀️👮 “We talk about law enforcement in general because for the dog, the uniform doesn't matter – the animal doesn't know that it works for the border guard or for the police or for the fire department. You cannot institutionalise a dog,” says Radu, an education design specialist and originator of the course.
I'm interested 👍
Where the contact for the k9 unit office ?
Awesome product
Very promising!
Fascinating to see how Frontex utilizes the European Course for Canine Team Instructors to elevate the skills of experienced dog handlers and bridge the gap between different law enforcement sectors. Highlighting that the uniform doesn't matter to the dog underscores the universal value and applicability of these trained animals, regardless of the specific agency. As a Learning and Development Theme Manager, I am particularly interested in the educational design of this course. What are some of the key lessons learned so far, and what impact has this training had on the operational capabilities of the participants? It would be great to hear more about your experiences and the challenges you have addressed. I look forward to further discussions and insights from my colleagues at Frontex and others involved in such training programs! #Frontex #CanineTeams #LawEnforcement #ProfessionalDevelopment #LnD #Learninganddevelopment
