          Abstract

          Resumen La utilización de caninos es habitual tanto en la seguridad pública como en el servicio de vigilancia privada. En Colombia, la Policía Nacional certifica a los caninos para que puedan ser utilizados para la seguridad privada. El presente artículo muestra cuál es el comportamiento de las variables de especialidad, sexo y raza de 1949 perros certificados, pertenecientes a 56 empresas de la seguridad privada y que pasaron por el proceso de certificación por parte de la Policía Nacional durante el último trimestre de 2022 y primero de 2023. El estudio es un análisis descriptivo de los registros administrativos de la Escuela de Guías y Adiestramiento Canino, perteneciente a la Dirección de Educación Policial, según el Formato de Evaluación para Certificación Caninos a Empresas de Vigilancia y Seguridad Privada. De tal forma, según la especialidad, el 36% de los perros se emplean para la defensa controlada, el 41.5% para la detección de explosivos y el 22.5% para la detección de narcóticos. En cuanto al sexo, el 63.2% son machos y el 36.8% hembras; y respecto a la raza, el 26.6% son labrador retriever, el 20% rottweiler, el 18.8% golden retriever, el 18% pastor alemán y el 13.6% pastores belgas malinois. De esta manera, las organizaciones de vigilancia privada incluyen entre sus servicios el uso de caninos y para satisfacer la demanda han seleccionado ciertas razas para desempeñarse en escenarios que representan vulnerabilidad a la seguridad por cuenta de las manifestaciones delictivas.

          Abstract The use of canines is recurrent in both public security and private security services. In Colombia, the certification of canines for private security use is carried out by the National Police. This article shows the behaviour of variables of specialty, sex and breed of 1,949 dogs owned by 56 private security companies that underwent the certification process by the National Police during the last quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. The study is a descriptive analysis of the administrative records of the School of Guides and Canine Training, belonging to the Police Education Directorate, according to the Evaluation Form for Canine Certification of Private Security and Surveillance Companies. Thus, according to the specialty, 36% of the dogs are used for controlled defense, 41.5% for explosives detection and 22.5% for narcotics detection; as regards sex, 63.2% are males and 36.8% are females; and with respect to breed, 26.6% are Labrador retrievers, 20% are Rottweilers, 18.8% are Golden Retrievers, 18% are German Shepherds and 13.6% are Belgian Malinois Shepherds. Thus, private security organisations include among their services the use of canines and to meet the demand they have selected certain breeds to perform in scenarios that represent vulnerability to security on account of criminal manifestations.

          Resumo A utilização de caninos é comum tanto nos serviços de segurança pública como nos de segurança privada. Na Colômbia, a Polícia Nacional certifica caninos para uso em segurança privada. Este artigo mostra o comportamento das variáveis de especialidade, sexo e raça de 1949 cães certificados pertencentes a 56 empresas de segurança privada que passaram pelo processo de certificação pela Polícia Nacional durante o último trimestre de 2022 e o primeiro trimestre de 2023. O estudo é uma análise descritiva dos registos administrativos da Escola de Guias e Treino Canino, pertencente à Direção de Ensino Policial, de acordo com a Ficha de Avaliação para Certificação Canina de Empresas de Segurança Privada e Vigilância. Assim, segundo a especialidade, 36% dos cães são utilizados para defesa controlada, 41,5% para deteção de explosivos e 22,5% para deteção de estupefacientes. Em termos de sexo, 63,2% são machos e 36,8% são fêmeas; e no que respeita à raça, 26,6% são Labradores Retrievers, 20% Rottweilers, 18,8% Golden Retrievers, 18% Pastores Alemães e 13,6% Pastores Belgas Malinois. Desta forma, as organizações de segurança privada incluem entre os seus serviços a utilização de canídeos e, para responder à procura, seleccionaram determinadas raças para actuarem em cenários que representam vulnerabilidade para a segurança devido a manifestações criminosas.

          Efficacy of drug detection by fully-trained police dogs varies by breed, training level, type of drug and search environment.

          Some recent publications claim that the effectiveness of police canine drug detection is uncertain and likely minimal, and that the deterrent effect of dogs on drug users is low. It is also claimed that more scientific evidence is needed to demonstrate to what extent dogs actually detect drugs. The aim of this research was to assess experimentally, but in actual training and testing environments used by the Polish police, how effective dogs trained by the police were at illicit substance detection depending on factors such as type of drug, dog breed, dog experience with the searching site, and drug odor residuals. 68 Labrador retrievers, 61 German shepherds, 25 Terriers and 10 English Cocker Spaniels, of both sexes in each breed, were used. Altogether 1219 experimental searching tests were conducted. On average, hidden drug samples were indicated by dogs after 64s searching time, with 87.7% indications being correct and 5.3% being false. In 7.0% of trials dogs failed to find the drug sample within 10min. The ranking of drugs from the easiest to the most difficult to detect was: marijuana, hashish, amphetamine, cocaine, heroin. German shepherds were superior to other breeds in giving correct indications while Terriers showed relatively poor detection performance. Dogs were equally efficient at searching in well-known vs. unknown rooms with strange (i.e., non-target novelty) odors (83.2% correct indications), but they were less accurate when searching outside or inside cars (63.5% and 57.9% correct indications respectively). During police examination trials the dogs made more false alerts, fewer correct indications and searching time was longer compared to the final stage of the training. The drug odor may persist at a site for at least 48h. Our experiments do not confirm the recent reports, based on drug users' opinions, of low drug detection efficiency. Usefulness of drug detection dogs has been demonstrated here, even if their effectiveness may not be 100%, but different factors have to be taken into consideration to assure maximum effectiveness.
