Overview
- The Banking and Industrial Police, a unit under the city’s security ministry, added four Belgian Malinois named Uzi, Atena, Beretta and Nix to its Grupo Cerbero K-9 team.
- The new dogs are trained and certified to detect explosives to strengthen prevention and quick response at high‑density events.
- Officials framed the additions as part of wider preparations to protect visitors during the tournament in a host city with large fan zones and public screenings.
- The canine unit already fields teams for narcotics detection, explosives work, guard duties and search‑and‑rescue, so the new pairs expand coverage across specialties.
- Local reports describe three security filters planned in the historic center with K‑9 bomb sweeps at the Zócalo fan zone.
