Detection Dogs
ACTS works in conjunction with Enhanced Protection Services to provide dogs with the appropriate temperament to their detection training programs. Detection dogs have skill sets that are different from service or facility dogs. When ACTS has a puppy that is not a good match for our program, but that may be a good match for detection work, we work with EPS to provide such dogs with jobs they are better suited for. Enhanced Protection Services trains for the detection of explosives, firearms, narcotics, or dangerous goods. The dogs live and work with their partners on assignments both in the united states and abroad.
