Police are planning to conduct operations to combat drug smuggling using its new dog squad at the country’s airports and seaports.
The Maldives Police Service signed Memorandums of Understanding with the ports authority, airports company, immigration department, and the customs authority yesterday to use the sniffer dogs to locate drugs.
The MoUs outline mechanisms for relaying information, conducting joint operations, and sharing resources, according to police.
In an exclusive interview with Minivan News last year, home minister Umar Naseer said tackling the country’s entrenched drug problem was his main priority and vowed to “seal” the gateways to the Maldives.
