Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) authorities have increased the deployment of police K9 units during peak hours to enhance security following a series of recent incidents, according to KLIA police chief Assistant Commissioner M. Ravi. The enhanced patrols, previously conducted sporadically, are now scheduled around peak periods to maximize effectiveness, Ravi explained.
The deployment is not continuous due to the dogs' need for rest, requiring strategic planning to identify optimal patrol times. K9 units are deployed outside the terminal buildings, particularly near entrances and exits, to monitor sensitive areas frequented by travelers, according to Ravi. These canine handlers and their K9 partners are part of the broader security measures designed to reinforce monitoring at strategic locations within the airport, complementing the efforts of additional police personnel to bolster overall security.
