The Canadian Police Canine Association was formed in 1978 by several dog handlers who were interested in seeing how their counterparts were performing in the same job as themselves. The CPCA has grown considerably since those early years, however, our main objectives have remained the same : to promote friendship and brotherhood between all those interested in the training and utilization of the Police Service Dog; to unite and assist Police Departments in the training and continued improvement of Police Service Dogs; to establish and conduct regular “Police Service Dog Trials” for the purpose of establishing levels of proficiency; to provide educational material through publications and a website; to coordinate the exchange of any advanced techniques of training in the utilization of Police Service Dogs; to improve the image of the Police Service Dog to the general public. 2, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Police%20Canine%20Association

Un cariste est une personne conduisant un engin motorisé servant au déplacement de marchandises au sein d'une exploitation. Cet engin peut être, par exemple, un chariot élévateur. Le cariste accomplit toutes sortes de missions : acheminement, stockage et déstockage. Dans certains cas, le travail du cariste peut s'accompagner d'un travail de constitution de palettes. Le cariste a un rôle important dans la chaîne de production : il gère la mise à disposition des marchandises et évite ainsi les ruptures dans les préparations. 4, record 4, French, - cariste
