THERE are 50 working animals
that serve with the Police Force
and the Civil Protection Depart-
ment but no animals serving
with the Armed Forces of Malta.
The information was tabled
in parliament by Home Affairs
Minister Byron Camilleri in re-
ply to parliamentary questions
by Opposition MPs Ivan Barto-
lo and Graziella Attard Previ.
Camilleri said the army has
no working animals serving
within its ranks.
The police have 13 horses
on active duty in the Police
Mounted Section, which has its
stables headquartered in Mar-
sa. The horses are normally
used for ceremonial purposes,
to conduct patrols and crowd
control.
The Police Dogs Section has
30 dogs on active duty at its
premises in Fort Mosta. A fur-
ther two working dogs that are
retired are still taken care of by
police officers there, the min-
ister said.
Police dogs are either trained
for protection and assault to
apprehend criminals and are
also used in crowd control; or
to search for explosives and
drugs.
Meanwhile, the CPD has
seven working dogs that are
used to help in arson investi-
gations—identifying fuel—and
searches for victims caught be-
neath rubble.
