The role of police dogs in maintaining the safety and security of a country’s borders cannot be overstated. These highly trained and skilled animals have proven to be a crucial asset in the fight against crime, smuggling, and other illegal activities that threaten national security. This is why the recent recognition of fifteen police dogs by the National Immigration Administration of China is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of these dogs and their trainers.
The citation for merit class III awarded to these dogs and their trainers is a recognition of their exceptional work over the past five years. During this time, these police dogs have been involved in cracking 780 cases, apprehending over 2,600 criminal suspects, seizing over 340 kg of drugs, and confiscating smuggled goods worth over 33 million yuan. These achievements are a testament to the hard work and commitment of these dogs and their trainers, who have shown unwavering dedication to their duties.
One of the dogs honored by the National Immigration Administration was Yingkong, a police dog assigned to the Mangyan border checkpoint under the Baoshan border inspection team in Yunnan province. Yingkong has been working with its trainer, Jiang Dingzhong, since February 2020, and its achievements have made it a valuable asset to the National Immigration Administration. In July 2022, Yingkong set a new record for the team by finding suspected articles within 15 seconds in a 200 square meter area, despite being continuously distracted by its trainer. To date, Yingkong has helped seize 73.86 kg of drugs in 4 cases, making it one of the most productive police dogs in the National Immigration Administration.
Jijunxing, another dog honored by the National Immigration Administration, is a police dog born in 2016. Jijunxing was assigned to the Dehong border inspection team in Yunnan province when it was just one year old, and it has been making a significant contribution to the maintenance of border stability ever since. In 2018, Jijunxing played a critical role in a drug bust, where it found 23 kg of heroin in three backpacks in just two hours after a group of drug dealers ran into a mountain. To date, Jijunxing has helped seize over 80 kg of drugs in six cases, making it one of the most effective police dogs in the National Immigration Administration.
