3 HPD/HCS K-9 Operation Event: Huntsville Police Department (HPD) Support to HCS Computer Refresh Project Date: July 10, 2013 Location: 714 Bob Wallace Ave., Huntsville, AL 35801 (Main Warehouse Facility) Activity: HPD Canine Unit Conducted Drug Search of Student Laptop Bags As the designated regional canine training program, HPD Special Operations provides canine training for a number of area police departments. This was a joint training opportunity: Dogs and handlers from both the Huntsville Police Department and the Albertville Police Department were present.

4 HPD/HCS K-9 Operation In support of the district-wide computer refresh project, members of the HPD Canine Unit conducted a successful drug search of approximately 1,400 student laptop bags. 9 Officers and 9 Dogs led by HPD Sergeant Huskey as well as 4 HCS employees: Lontrell Harris (Asset Mgt Coordinator), Edward Smith (Operations Deputy Director), Jackie Kent (Warehouse), and Donnie Damson (Warehouse) Two weeks prior to the event, Sergeant Huskey met with Lontrell Harris at the main warehouse to conduct a site visit. During the meeting details of the drug search to be conducted by the canine team(s) were finalized. The resulting event provided both the validation that no illegal substances were hidden in the bags and a valuable training event for drug dogs from Huntsville PD and Albertville PD. 4

5 HPD/HCS K-9 Operation 5 The bags turned in by class of 2012 graduating seniors at all district high schools were consolidated and arrayed on the floor of the main warehouse to facilitate an efficient drug search by the dogs.

6 HPD/HCS K-9 Operation 6 The bags were checked nine times (once by each Officer/Dog team). To increase training value and validate the abilities of each canine, officers planted real drugs in a desk drawer. During each sweep by the canine team, the dogs hit on the correct drawer containing the illegal substance.
