The government has opened a dog-training center as part of its drive to combat drug trafficking. The new Canine Training Center is located in La Cumbre, Bonao, and 41 dogs are currently undergoing training there. The plan is to increase the number of dogs that can be used to locate drug traffickers. The president of the National Drug Control Department, Major General Rafael Ramirez Ferreira said that the dogs would also be used to combat terrorism and help with disaster relief operations. Ramirez said that in the last 10 months, his office has confiscated five tons of drugs, arrested 12,000 people with ties to trafficking and carried out 8,000 operations nationwide.
