Welcome, joyful viewers,
to Animal World:
Our Co-Inhabitants.
As society evolves
toward more noble and
compassionate ways
of living, people are
becoming increasingly
aware of the significant
role dogs play
in many important fields
and their selfless efforts
to help humanity.
Today we introduce
the courageous,
dedicated canines from
the Abu Dhabi
Police Dog Section
of the Abu Dhabi Police.
This department protects
the residents of the
emirate of Abu Dhabi,
which is part of the
United Arab Emirates.
The Section’s altruistic
spirit and service to
their nation have touched
the hearts of many in this
Middle Eastern country.
Captain Sa’eed Khalifa
Waleed Hmeed,
manager of the Abu
Dhabi Police Dog Section,
and Public Relations
Officer for the Abu
Dhabi Police, Matar Ali,
kindly guided us during
our visit to Abu Dhabi
Police headquarters
and introduced us
to the Section’s work.
Captain,
we are very pleased
to be here today, and
we are very impressed
with the dog unit.
Captain, can you please
introduce yourself and
tell us about the history
of the police dog unit in
United Arab Emirates?
I'm Captain Sa'eed
Khalifa Waleed Hmeed,
the manager of
the Police Dog Section
in Abu Dhabi.
I’ve worked
as a manager for
the Police Dog Section
in Abu Dhabi
for eight years.
In the Captain’s years as
manager, the Section has
grown tremendously and
achieved much success.
Previously, in the
Police Dog Section,
people did not have
enough knowledge
or experience about
police dogs, but now
thanks to Allah, we have
about 300 persons
who work in the
Police Dog Section, and
this indicates people’s
understanding and that
their desire to work
with the police dogs
has grown, and also
they have understood
the police dogs’ role,
their importance
in the police station,
and their role in
serving the community.
Police dogs are
important and
used in many fields.
People now have
more receptive minds,
especially in the
United Arab Emirates,
they know the importance
of police dogs and
where they are used.
Whereas humans
rely primarily on sight to
assess the environment
around them,
smell is the chief way
that canines explore
their world
and make sense of it.
This is why police
agencies worldwide use
dogs to track individuals
who are lost or
are suspects in a case.
We are now in the
tracker dogs department
where we test the sense of
smell that the dogs have;
dogs have 250-million
cells for smelling
in their noses, while
human beings have
only five-million cells.
So there is
a great difference,
that’s why we train dogs.
Police canines may be
trained to be
detection experts in
specific areas such
narcotics or explosives.
Steps are taken to ensure
the benevolent beings
are kept safe while
working around these
dangerous substances.
The sniffer dogs are
only trained to detect
the smell of drugs,
meaning we can train the
sniffer dogs to become
explosives sniffer dogs
and tracker dogs also.
There are many other
types of tasks that
we do without hurting
or harming the dogs.
So the sniffer dogs do not
get addicted to the drugs.
The dog here is sending
a strong sign that
he has found drugs,
and in contrast to
the drug sniffer dogs,
the explosives dogs
don’t touch
the explosive materials.
There is a safe distance
between the dog and
the explosive material;
this is what the trainer
has taught the dog.
But the drug sniffer dogs
do catch the drugs and
send a strong sign to say
that the drugs do exist.
All this depends on
the training
and the experience
of our trainers.
The Abu Dhabi Police
Dog Section makes sure
all its canine members
receive top veterinary
care from professionals
such as
Dr. Talha Badawi,
so that they are healthy
and happy as well as
ready to perform
their important duties
at a moment’s notice.
This is a clinic
for tracker dogs and
these are the machines.
There are many more
sophisticated machines
in the clinic.
When a dog comes to
the veterinary clinic,
we ask the trainer about
the dog’s health status.
We also ask the trainer
about any problems
with the dog or
about the reasons for
coming to the clinic,
so we can diagnose
the dog properly.
Have you noticed
any changes or problems
with the dog?
He is getting weak,
and eats very little.
He is eating
only small quantities
and getting weak.
Okay,
we will diagnose the dog
so we can treat him.
After the doctor has
diagnosed the dog,
we will treat the dog.
First we check
the dog’s temperature.
The doctor is diagnosing
the dog’s condition, and
the high temperature is
due to the dog
taking a bath recently.
In this area it is a little
bit high in summertime.
After diagnosing the dog
we give him a suitable
remedy like vitamins
to stimulate his appetite
and help reduce
his body temperature.
We also give him
antibiotics to help him
resist any diseases
and to reduce
his body temperature.
When we return,
we’ll watch two dutiful
canine members of
the Police Dog Section,
Adna and Rocky,
go through
training exercises.
Please stay tuned to
Supreme Master
Television.
Dogs are faithful, and if
you treat dogs correctly,
if you take care of dogs
correctly, the dogs will
be very faithful to you,
and will be
your best friend just like
all other animals.
Welcome back to
Animal World:
Our Co-Inhabitants and
our program featuring
the esteemed Abu Dhabi
Police Dog Section in the
United Arab Emirates.
Besides police work,
the Section is also
involved in promoting
animal protection
and welfare.
A canine society was
established in the
United Arab Emirates in
2008 under the direction
of Head of the Section,
Lieutenant Colonel
Jamal Jumaa Hahbash.
With the blessing of
His Highness Lieutenant
General Sheikh Saif bin
Zayed Al Nahyan,
the country’s Minister of
the Interior,
the society became part
of the Abu Dhabi
Police Dog Section.
The society’s mission is
to provide guidance to
the public on the raising
and caring of dogs, and
to conduct informational
campaigns to prevent
cruelty to animals.
Let us now return to
Abu Dhabi Police
headquarters to
watch police dogs
Adna and Rocky practice
finding suspect items.
The dog is trained to
inspect cars; we use
this kind of technique
at the checkpoints.
Here they are searching
for explosive materials.
The trainer also helps
the dog in the inspection
process, and asks the dog
to inspect under
and on top of the car.
Until now there is
nothing in the car.
The assistant trainer
or the trainer
puts the drugs in the car.
First, he puts the drug
items in the car.
Once again we inspect
the same car, as you see,
its scent spreads,
then he finds it.
As you see, we give him
a ball as a reward.
What are some of
the important facilities
that these diligent canines
guard?
We search for drugs
in airports, post offices
and also in prisons.
As you see,
we also search for drugs
in travelers’ suitcases
and luggage.
Now we’re inspecting
for drugs without using
or putting in
any opiate material.
As you see, the trainer
is helping the dog
search for drugs.
Now, we take the dog
away, and we put
the drugs in the car.
Now we’re going to
search for the drugs
once again after
we put in the suitcase
that contains the drugs.
The dog begins
searching.
He finds the opiate
material, then
the dog takes hold of
this opiate material.
How do the police dogs
notify their human
partner when
narcotics are found?
The dog is asked to
search and he finds
the opiate material.
The drug sniffer dog is
digging, as you see, and
this process is considered
a strong sign.
Now the dog is sending
a strong message
and getting
the opiate material.
This is what the trainers
has taught the dogs.
The relationship between
a police dog and their
human partner is strong.
The pair are truly close
and spend
countless hours together.
As you see, every dog
has his own trainer and
there is a special bond
and special friendship
between them.
The dog feels
the friendship with
the trainer, that's why
he obeys the commands
of the trainer.
In the diagnosing,
the training, and
in getting the remedy,
you find
the trainer is present.
That's why
the dog is loyal,
loyalty is one of
the dog characteristics.
This is what happens,
and this is what
we achieve between
the trainer and the dog.
At the conclusion of
our visit, our Association
members presented
some gifts on behalf of
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
including
Master’s international
#1 best seller
“The Dogs In My Life,”
two doggie jackets,
vegan dog food,
a coffee mug and a SOS
Global Warming DVD.
In return,
the Section provided us
with some souvenirs.
We'd like to
thank your channel,
also thank your team
at the channel, and
thank you for the gifts.
We welcome you here to
the United Arab Emirates.
We'd like to thank the
Supreme Master Ching Hai
(International
Association)
for coming to the
United Arab Emirates
and especially for coming
to the Police Dog Section
in Abu Dhabi, and we
would like to share
with you our activities
and our other festivals

We also thank you
for the precious gifts
and for all other things
you offered us,
and for introducing us
in a very nice way.
Thank you.
Hardworking
police canines like
Adna and Rocky provide
invaluable service to the
emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Not only do they help
safeguard the public,
but they are also
excellent examples of
how dogs are our best
friends and companions.

Sa’eed Khalifa,
Public Relations Officer
Matar Ali,
Dr. Talha Badawi, and
