I have handled and trained both active and passive drug detection dogs for Law Enforcement and organised/maintained continuation-training programmes for Law Enforcement and Excise Dog Units. I have appeared in national newspapers and on BBC daytime television demonstrating the use of Customs drug dogs and has given talks to various organisations throughout Scotland on the use of dogs in drug detection work.
