Law Enforcement officers from the Overstrand K9 unit visited Generations School in Hermanus last week.

Handler Cadin Leibrandt and Malinois patrol dog partner, Wimba, were eager to show off their skills to detect drugs and how to find explosives.

K9-Inspector Lance Mara spoke to the children about the dangers of drug abuse and not taking sweets from strangers.

The 3-6 phase also learned how K9s are trained to do their work within the Protection Services Directorate.
