The Civil Guard has held an open day in Alcázar de San Juan to bring the institution closer to young people. Around 2,000 students from the town were able to see vehicles, canine units, mountain teams, and explosive ordnance disposal units. The initiative aims to foster trust and convey values of safety and public service among schoolchildren.
Technology on wheels and paws: the deployed resources 🚔
The exhibition included off-road vehicles, motorcycles, and vans equipped with communication and location systems. The canine unit showcased dogs trained for explosive and drug detection, with 95% accuracy in drills. The mountain teams presented rescue drones with thermal cameras and GPS systems. The ordnance disposal group displayed remote-controlled robots for handling suspicious devices, reducing human risk in interventions.

As the little ones crowded around to see the disposal robot, some asked if it could do the latest dance. An agent explained that the priority is saving lives, not choreography. Another schoolchild confessed that they preferred the police dog because the robot has no fur. The day showed that, although technology impresses, nothing beats a dog wagging its tail among the attendees.
