Police Dog Basko Begins Training in Nanaimo
Basko will spend about 1 to 2 years training and will be evaluated every 3 to 4 months before joining operational police work.
- Nanaimo RCMP welcomed Basko, a German shepherd puppy, to their police dog training program on Wednesday, where he has begun development under the supervision of Const. Jordan Braid.
- Basko's lineage includes his father, Neon, and his grandfather, Jago, a 'courageous police dog who was tragically killed in the line of duty on June 17, 2021, while protecting his handler and fellow officers.'
- Throughout his development, Basko will undergo evaluations every three to four months to ensure he meets program standards, spending the next one to two years learning skills for future operational work.
- Const. Jordan Braid noted there is no guarantee Basko will remain in Nanaimo or work with Neon, stating 'Basko would go wherever he's needed.'
- Born at the RCMP Police Dog Service Training Centre in Innisfail, Alberta, Basko represents the force's commitment to using German shepherds exclusively, a breeding program that maintains health standards and controls costs.
