Cell Phone Detection Dogs
Cell Phone Detection – A new skill for K9 dogs
Cell phones are fast becoming the hottest contraband inside Federal and State Correction Facilities—difficult to track because of their size, they’re being easily smuggled in.
Inmates use them for anything from running criminal operations on the outside to planning escapes, or even worse.
But, as every item has a unique scent and dogs possess more than 250 million olfactory receptors in a nasal area 50 times larger than ours, K-9s have become the latest tool for sniffing out cell phones in prison.
At Southern Hills Kennels, we are now training K9s for prison cell phone detection, and have already clocked up some impressive finds in Florida prisons with Diego and Razor, both trained exclusively to detect cell phones.
Cell phone dogs are hand-picked from non-threatening breeds, and must show a strong hunt drive, and have a lot of stamina.
As the war on prison cell phones intensifies, so will the demand for these exceptionally skilled K9 dogs.
