The fight against illegal drugs is a frustrating one. They have invaded our schools and workplaces and are generally an ever-present problem facing employers, parents and sadly children.
To help in this fight Australian Canine Services can provide drug detection dogs that are trained to actively seek out drugs in all environments. The dogs are trained to indicate the presence of drugs no matter the quantity and to maintain that proficiency they undergo maintenance training regularly.
Our first drug dog commenced training for service with Junee Prison NSW, the first privately owned prison in Australia, managed at that stage by ACM (Australasian Correctional Management).
We train our dogs on real odour not pseudo. The dogs are trained on the pure odour of Heroin, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, LSD, Ecstasy, Marijuana and Hashish. We can provide the services of a drug dog and handler to conduct searches to the clients requirements. As we are not Police Officers we have no powers to arrest or detain any person. Our search services are limited to detecting the odour of drugs in a given area as set out by the client. While a search is conducted the drug dog team will be accompanied by a representative of the client. If an odour is found the dog will indicate its location and the dog handler will then inform the representative that the drug dog has indicated the presence of a drug odour. The action taken after that is entirely up to the client. |
