Public Transportation Security Volume 2 - K9 Units in Public Transportation: A Guide for Decision Makers

Overview The use of canine (K9) teams to support patrol, narcotics, and explosives-detection activities is routine in major metropolitan areas. Heightened awareness of threats from explosives has led to active consideration of the use of dogs as a strategy for coping with threats against public transportation systems. This report offers information on a variety of approaches to fielding K9 programs. This information is based largely on extensive interviews with nine public transportation agencies that currently deploy K9s and four agencies that disbanded their K9 programs in the last 5 years.
