Canine Program

Detection dogs have been used by the US Customs and Border Patrol since 1969. While their introduction into service was initially temporary, they’ve maintained a permanent part in the arsenal that defends our borders. Initially conceived as a stop gap measure to allow explosive detection technology to develop the CBP canine program has continued to thrive while its technological rival has never caught up.
