Bibliography

Provides recommendations for the operational use of a detection dog by a detection dog handler when providing passive and proactive detection services, including records, kennelling/husbandry, dog health and welfare, equipment and clothing, training and operational requirements.

This part of BS8517 gives recommendations for the operational use of a detection dog by a detection dog handler when providing passive and proactive detection services (e.g. drugs, firearms, munitions, explosives, pyrotechnics, intentionally concealed persons), including records, kennelling/husbandry, dog health and welfare, equipment and clothing, training and operational requirements.

NOTE1 Recommendations for static site guarding and mobile patrol services are given in BS7499. Recommendations for screening of security individuals are given in BS7858.

This part of BS8517 also assists procurers of detection dog services to ensure the service fits the end user requirements and risk profile.

This part of BS8517 does not apply to the provision of general purpose dogs or dogs and handlers used in other search disciplines.

NOTE2 General purpose dogs are covered in BS8517‑1. Other search disciplines are planned to be covered in BS8517‑3.1)
