As part of the execution of the "Improvement Plan" for the Police Force of Sint Maarten, the police department increased its K-9 department to three police dogs. Two of the dogs are surveillance officers and one of them is highly trained to intercept narcotics. In November and December of 2010, Felix Richards a major with the local police department was sent to the Netherlands where he successfully followed two courses in advanced dog handling. He also brought back his new Shepherd by the name of "Beer". Earlier this year major Sharlon Cathalina who is also a certified dog handler received his Shepherd by the name " Gino". These dogs will definitely be used during the many investigations to be carried out by police.
