❤️🇳🇴🇺🇦Police handed over humanitarian aid to the dog training center in #Irpen

🐕‍🦺Police dogs received more than 500 kilograms of food from the Head of the Open Heart Charitable Foundation, Halvard Hesseloy.

🔹The other day, employees of the Strategic Investigation Department of the National Police visited the dog training center. They donated more than 500 kg of food for the needs of service dogs, which they received from their friend from #Norway, Halvard Hesseloy.

🔹He has been helping #Ukraine for 30 years. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of our country, he has handed over more than 800 tons of humanitarian aid to police and defenders who protect the country with weapons against Russian invaders, evacuate civilians from areas under intense enemy fire and hold a strong internal front. These are protective ammunition, medicines and other necessary things, in particular for police service dogs of the dog training center of the Kyiv region police, which is based in Irpen.

🔹Service dogs, along with police officers, were at the epicenter of the fighting. The center building was damaged by enemy hail, and several dogs received shrapnel wounds. Thanks to the police, they managed to put out the fire in time and save the animals.

🔹After the liberation of the city and other settlements of Kyiv region, four-legged specialists assisted the workers of explosive services in demining the territory. Dogs, which are involved in the search for drugs, explosives, people, etc., are on duty at the dog training center. Serious crimes were repeatedly solved with the help of the center's inmates, and important evidence was found that was not enough to detain the criminals and bring them to justice. As a result, police dogs have repeatedly become the heroes of the media reports.

🔹The dog training center also has its own mascot - a 4-month-old German Shepherd puppy "Bayraktar". During the fighting, he warned the police about the shelling - a few minutes before he made the noises and did not remain silent until the battle was over.

❗️"We thank everyone who combined their efforts today. Everyone is working on their front to achieve peace in Ukraine "
