Did you know a dog’s natural hunting instinct can be modified by police so the dog can be used to locate people, drugs, bombs and even dead bodies? Police dogs are used and are effective in police work for their superior senses of both smell and hearing.
Find out how police dogs are used for tracking, searching and the apprehension of offenders, at the next Queensland Police Museum Sunday Lecture.
The presentation titled ‘Behind the Scenes of the Police Dog Squad’, will be addressed by Senior Constable Ash Purvey, who will speak about the work police dogs undertake and the methods used to train them to carry out general and other duties. During the presentation Senior Constable Purvey will also explain the police breeding program and the role of puppy foster care.
This one and a half hour presentation will start at 11am on Sunday, July 26 and will be both informative and educational, and is suitable for any audience.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to Thursday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
