Cypriot police presence will be in Paris to assist with the security of the Summer Olympics.
A relevant request from the French authorities recently came to the Cypriot Police, and according to information from philenews, it was specific.
The French requested two detection dogs with their handlers. According to the same information, the Cypriot Police are ready to positively respond to the French authorities’ request; however, the presence of the two Cypriot police officers with their dogs must be approved by the Ministerial Council.
Therefore, a proposal is being prepared by the Minister of Justice for the mission to be approved, and both members of the force are getting ready to pack their bags.
As recently officially announced in France, due to the massive gathering of citizens to watch the games, there are increased needs for detection dogs for control purposes for explosive materials.
According to the same information, a similar request for assistance in the security of the Olympic Games was also forwarded to the National Guard.
