Book via Eventbrite

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 ‘50 years of the Dog Squad, will be addressed by Senior Sergeant Sean Baxendell, OIC of Brisbane Dog Squad, who will speak about the work police dogs undertake and the methods used to train them to carry out general and other duties.
