All 9 provinces as well as the SAPS Divisions Operational Response Services, Protection and Security Services and Presidential Protection Services competed in this national K9 competition. The competition was divided into 9 categories including tracker, narcotics detection,

Donors may contact their nearest police station to facilitate the donation.

Therefore dogs are indispensable in the SAPS.
