On Thursday, February 2nd, an attentive group of about 30 seniors fixed their eyes on a couple of disciplined police officers in a meeting room at Laurel Senior Center. The pair, Cpl. Scott Allen with the Prince George’s County Canine Unit and his partner Rambo, a year old Belgian Malinois / German shepherd, demonstrated the training which the country’s canine officers undergo.
Cpl. Allen put Rambo through his paces with all-but invisible gestures and an occasional whispered command. Instant Obedience could have been Rambo’s middle name and it was hard to tell who was having more fun: the Corporal, Rambo or the audience. It did seem that those who saw the performance left feeling a little bit safer knowing that Cpl. Allen and his partner, the fearless – and at this time – only strictly attack dog, are on the job in Prince George’s County.
The presentation was recorded by the Laurel Cable Network and a copy was provided to Richard Mason, the chair of Montpelier’s Security Committee, with permission to edit it for this website. The video above is an excerpt of the full presentation, edited by Montpelier resident and web designer Tony Fleming.
This was another of the interesting and informative programs brought to the Senior Center each month on the first Thursday at 1:00 pm by the COPS Coffee folks from the District 6 Beltsville Hqs.
