Canine Academy is a police unit that involves dogs, with their help a crime/danger can be put out. As we know dogs are a loyal friend to a human who is ready to give their life to its owner.

Nepal similarly has a canine unit. It was established in 1969 A.D. which conducts dog training in various sectors like drugs, explosives, traders, protection, etc. There are various breeds of dogs used such as German Shepherd, Labrador, Bloodhound, Belgian Malinois, etc. Each dog has specialized in a special sector and is used accordingly. A dog has the wonderful sniffing ability, utilizing this capability a police dog helps the force. In Nepal, there are 79 dogs in total serving for police. K-9 has proved to be really effective as they have more than 15 solved crimes in Nepal. The dogs are well cared for in return for their service to the human race. Even after a dog retires from its duty, it will be taken care of until its death.
