Sit
and stare dogs wanted by the Yard!
SCOTLAND YARD has asked the owners of dogs destined to be
rehomed to consider letting them join them in their war against
drugs and drug dealers.
Police have said that dogs which have exhausted or exasperated
their owners would make ideal candidates so their energies can
be channelled into detection work. Most dogs working with police
are now deployed in passive roles in which they stand and stare
as they detect drugs or the smell of drugs.
The best workers are said to be cocker spaniels, springers and
labradors aged between one and two years. It is thought the
dogs would be trained in narcotics detection and also used to
replace those retiring from the bomb squads.
