There appears a crack in the Goregaon bomb squad unit over the decision to retire Jordan, a young police dog with an exemplary record, after he bit a couple of people on the team, said sources. They, however, suspect the officers who reported the incidents and suggested retirement mishandled Jordan. And, as Belgian Malinois are an aggressive breed, Jordan reacted in self-defence.

Jordan, who is now three-and-a-half-years-old, joined the Mumbai police force in 2019, and has since participated in over 500 VIP checking, including at IPL and celebrity events. He is the best among the 24 dogs in the bomb squad team, said police sources. The fact is that until now, Jordan didn’t bite any outsider or while on duty, they added.
