In a significant development for law enforcement in Pimpri-Chinchwad, two highly-trained canines, ‘Simba’ and ‘James,’ have officially joined the city’s police force. These four-legged officers are set to play a crucial role in enhancing the crime-solving capabilities of the local police.
The establishment of an independent police commissionerate for Pimpri-Chinchwad city in 2018 marked a milestone in its security landscape. However, over the years, the Police Commissionerate faced certain resource challenges. With the recent addition of ‘Simba’ and ‘James,’ the force is poised to address some of these obstacles.
‘Simba’ has been specially trained to tackle crimes such as theft, burglary, and murder. His expertise allows him to visit crime scenes and assist in tracking down suspects, significantly expediting the investigative process.
On the other paw, ‘James’ is set to become a valuable asset to the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS). His role will be pivotal in detecting and neutralizing potential threats, thereby enhancing the safety and security of the region.
Dedicated coaches have been appointed to ensure the optimal care and training of these police canines. These trainers will oversee all aspects of the dogs’ well-being, including their diet, exercise regimen, medication, and, most importantly, their rigorous training.
One notable aspect of these highly trained dogs is their unwavering obedience to their trainers, with whom they have shared a bond since their induction into the police force. This close relationship ensures seamless coordination during operations, making ‘Simba’ and ‘James’ invaluable assets to the Pimpri-Chinchwad city police force.
In the past, the Pimpri-Chinchwad police had to rely on the Pune city police dog squad to assist in various criminal investigations, leading to technical challenges and delays. However, with the addition of these two canine officers, the local police force is now better equipped to investigate and efficiently solve a wide range of crimes.
