Metro's Parboo Sewpersad says German Shepherds and Rottweilers are among the breeds best suited for the task. He says Metro only has five dogs at the moment.
"We will require additional dogs. The dogs will be trained for a specialised function. Every day, police dogs are used in fields of specialised functions," Sewpersad said.
