Detector Dogs

Heightened security issues and expanding drug trade are increasing the demand for the use of detector dogs in law enforcement activities. Traditionally used for sniffing out food contraband, explosives, drugs, money, and people (dead and alive), these dogs are now also being used in more sophisticated ways, such as replacing eye witnesses by sniffing out, rather than visually identifying, suspects in a line-up. Detector Dogs supplies the need for a best practices manual for optimum training and deployment of these dogs. This book combines all of the current knowledge of the subject and provides a basis for the use of canine testimony.
