There are two drug cops who come to my building regularly looking for drug packages. They used to bring their dog in with them until a coworker complained. Now they leave the dog in their vehicle.

The dogs come through our terminal all the time. I figured it was commonplace.

Local PD always sweeps with dogs in our barn.

Was the coworker holding?

Our local drug task force has trained with their dogs in our building. Funny thing is, they seemed far more interested in finding drug money than they did drugs.

Cause cash no matter who, reaks. We had a Drug dog sniff out a courier bag... turns out he brought stacks of cash to work for a car he was buying the same day.. Didn't get in trouble, but was fun to watch.

Yeah, the Sgt in charge of the task force went into great detail telling us how the dogs could smell the drugs transferred to the cash simply by handling it. Any drugs they find will eventually be destroyed. If they find money it often goes into the department's coffers after the legal system is done with it.

So law enforcement quit using all the tools they have because an employee complained?

 

[Fred's Myth]

The (Sheriffs Department) Deputy who conducted the drug interdiction with their drug sniffing dog lived on my route. After observing that they stopped bringing the dog into the station, and instead took packages out to their canine unit, I stopped and asked the deputy what was going on.
He explained that the dog was "over-stimulated" inside with all the machinery, and would false alert. They had a protocol for identifying suspicious packages, and were more successful taking the packages to the dog.

It was simply a matter of establishing the most successful method of intercepting illegal drug shipments.

I unknowingly delivered 56 pounds of marijuana to a business on my old route. I didn’t know about it until the next day when I went back there. There was no return address on the package and it had been relabeled in Atlanta. I was never questioned by the police.

56 lbs!? That’s a party.

 

[CookiePuss]

Yeah, most definitely. I’m sure whoever screwed that up got a “party” thrown for them. Someone somewhere lost a lot of money!

"Over stimulated"? You mean the dog was high too? Only stands to reason you use the same dog long enough, he might get to liking the stuff too?

They had a protocol for identifying suspicious packages, and were more successful taking the packages to the dog.

The times I've witnessed it, the standards were that the cop who is in charge of the dog isn't allowed to know which package is the drug package. That keeps the cop from being able to coach the dog to the suspicious package. They had to lay out several packages (usually the real one plus four more) and they all had to be of similar size, shape, and -ideally- color. In theory, a dog can be trained to go after the one that looks different, so they do it this way to help eliminate the accusations that the dog was "helped" in some way.

Why would that matter in the case of searching FedEx packages? Can’t we open up anything for any reason?

The #1 tell, according to the deputy, was a domestic airbill. Many times with an obviously fake, or no, return address.
