"What works is the human factor, might work as well as traffic officers, but we fail basis." Of the two dozen dogs available to the Police Canine Unit Municipal de Bilbao, four, two German shepherds and two Belgian Malinois, are "not operational", ie unable to accompany agents on complicated actions, identify offenders, involved in fighting or patrolling troubled areas, some of the most common of this group because "they are injured or afraid," according to the union complaint Basque Police and Emergency (EPLS). The director of Public Safety, Manu Zarragotia, clarifies that only two dogs' problem 'and are' in recovery phase. " Zarragoitia describes dogs as "very effective, are part of the Unit and we are very happy with them." According
EPLS, 'Drago', one of the top rated German Shepherds and has successfully participated in many operations, has suffered a "bad experience" and "has taken fear, not to step on the neighborhood of San Francisco, becomes aggressive and tries to bite the guide, so that you can only patrol with him in the center, Gran Via street and Ercilla. "
'Edy' dizzy. Even for a walk, has developed a phobia to go to the ATV. 'Aiko' "has never worked, it scares the city and people. You take it out in the Guggenheim at twelve o'clock, that no one, and is with his tail between his legs, he pulls you from one side to another, if you're in uniform makes it clear you. " From the City ensure that Belgian shepherd Malinois' need more time "to adapt to the street, but that" is progressing well and has character. "
A 'Bogart', one of the stars of the exhibits, had to undergo surgery for a leg injury and is low. "It's a serious injury to a police dog that has to be agile. You can not keep it because I have a good plan is like having a patrol car 'BMW' unbootable. " From Public Safety maintains that, after three months of rehabilitation, the dog is back to the base of Kobeta and will be ready soon, so just give as low a 'Drago' and 'Edy', which are being "re-educated "they insist. According
EPLS, two copies, 'Zoe' and 'Elton', they begin to blame hip problems, have difficulty climbing the patrol cars, a condition typical of German shepherds that degenerates in dysplasia, a disease that disables for police work.
in "questioned"
"We love dogs as a companion, you take a great affinity with them, but the above sentiments is the professionalism and provide good service to the citizen ", says Ignacio Garrido, from the EPLS. "They are costing the City some money, you pay a subcontractor for the maintenance of each dog, and while not included in the template to be replaced." A pedigree puppy can cost $ 3,000. And then generates a monthly cost of cleaning, catering, maintenance and training totaling about 1,800 euros.
This means that each group of the Canine Unit has only a maximum of three dogs, sometimes only one, to cover the entire city, when the ratio requires that there should be five or six per shift. For comparison, the local police Barakaldo three dogs used in their particular device weekends Juan de Garay.
Each dog has two or three guides. In recent weeks, several agents have been "planted" and refused to take these dogs 'inoperative' patrol. "We only have two hands and if you carry on a belt and you have to run, not going to release the dog from escaping and causing an accident. We sold and when we need it, we have to enter the melee. Not to mention the picture given some uniformed officers pulling an animal that does not get in the patrol car. Been compromised, "they protest.
An agent of the Unit has written a report, supported by other colleagues, which has provided the Chief with several complaints, one of which relates to animals. The union has requested a meeting with the leadership of the Municipal Police to call for "monitor" the health of dogs and when not used are replaced, as they do in other bodies such as the Municipal Police in Barakaldo. "Do not ask to give them a shot, the dog not to blame, but offer them the option to adopt guidelines and take them home. Pets can be great for a baserri. Or donate them, there is an association that welcomes German police dogs in Europe. "
The system used in Bilbao makes dogs owned by the City after several months of testing. In other police use something similar to 'leasing' cars. "You can not give a blank check," warned from the EPLS. "If you fall ill or not worth it because it is scared, I put another" they explain. Manu Zarragoitia, head of the municipal police in Bilbao, "we have our system and, as we do well, we're not going to change. In all these years we only had to replace two dogs, one that fell off a wall and he, still young, half-life of nine or ten years, "he argues. Zarragoitia
supports the work of its canine unit, which considers "one of the best among all local police the State, there is none like our dogs with 25 dedicated to Public Safety. "
