I am speaker to varied public groups interested in the use, deployment and training of operational police dogs, both general purposes and for specialist search (such as drugs, explosives, firearms, human bodies and missing persons).

My Fellowship explored the training and use of drug dogs in West Germany. I was a frontline police dog handler working with a failing British training system for drug dogs training. West Germany were world-renowned trainers. I became a Home Office-approved trainer of police dogs and I introduced the drug dogs system used by German police and customs into the UK. I outlined the system to the UK police and customs delegates at presentations nationally. The impact was to increase the standard and training of drug dogs in UK and encourage the release of more funding from the government to tackle the problem of dealing with illegal drugs in our society by using more sniffer dogs.
