Chile’s national police force has some new recruits this year, and they are cuter than ever.
The newest trainees consist of adorable puppies eager to start out their careers on the right paw.
The South American nation recently had their annual military parade, demonstrating their precision and patriotism as well as their new police members.
Attendees could not get enough of the furry fun, cheering on the officers as they marched holding training leads and cradling yellow puppy pouches.

Tongues out and eyes wide, the golden retrievers and Labradors handled their first squad task well as they sat to attention with the utmost integrity.
The puppies were flanked by their mentors - fully grown, mature dogs that have already led the way in assisting Chilean officers with their daily duties.
All the officers were in unison and wore matching green uniforms - some in military-grade pantsuits and others in white-striped bandannas.
The trainees even dressed in matching black boots, protecting their paws from potential threats.
The police puppies are thrilled to be part of the national police canine unit and cannot wait for their time to shine in the field.

General Mario Puente García, the dog’s training school, prepares the fluffy recruits for all sorts of important tasks, including drug and explosives detection.
They will also aid officers in nationwide searches for missing people.
There is no doubt that man’s best friend is also man’s best police partner, especially in Chile’s case.
Dogs keen sense of smell, high speeds, and quick learning skills enable them to be effective recruits for the Chilean Carabineros.
We are excited to see what the determined dogs are capable of and are so happy that they get to carry out their puphood dreams of becoming a police officer.
