need and justification for a K9 squad are established, the commander initiates a request to engineering branch/CPWD to develop the kennel facility design. Extensive guidance on kennel design and location that will meet local conditions and requirements are also explained in this book in the following chapters. The standard designs significantly lower the cost of kennel facilities. Cost must be kept as low as possible to ensure that funding can be provided; therefore, kennels should not use expensive construction materials when less expensive materials accomplish the same purpose. (Some features such as the separation between kennels, ventilation, and safe electrical connections are necessary.) Before the kennel design has been finalised, the veterinarian should be consulted to ensure that minimum
veterinary requirements are included in the final design. After kennel designs are completed and construction costs estimated, the kennel project is submitted for approval and funding to Directorate General. The request for authorisation for establishment of K9 squad must include the statement that the commitment has been made to fund and build kennels.
