The Last Howl 21 SAR DOG NEWS March/April 2017 Page 2 NSDA EXPANDS CERTIFICATIONS INTO EL SALVADOR by Robert Noziska In August 2016 the country of El Salvador, through the Department of States’ International Narcotics Law Enforcement Bureau, requested support from the United States Border Patrol (USBP), Special Operations Group (SOG) to conduct a Human Remains Detection (HRD) Handler/Instructor course for the El Salvadorian Policia Nacional Civil (PNC), El Salvador’s Federal Police. As requested, SOG deployed three BORSTAR HRD Canine Instructors who were fluent in Spanish and had HRD instructional and operational experience. Border Patrol Agents from the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), Special Operations Detachment and from SOG/Border Patrol Search, Trauma, & Rescue (BORSTAR) Unit deployed to San Salvador, El Salvador. After arriving in-country, HRD Instructors had to travel and assess numerous areas on the outskirts of San Salvador for training venues to include rubble piles, large open fields for area and buried searches, and lakes/shorelines for submerged boat searches. These venues would be used throughout the course as well as for maintenance training and yearly re- certifications. This in itself proved to be challenging due to the mountainous jungle environment and the potential of running into Transnational Criminal Organization elements that operate in the area. Once all training sites were surveyed for both safety and training suitability, the course got underway. The training of these canines presented unique situations due to the particular breed of dog used by the PNC. German Short-hair Pointers (GSP) were used, due to availability, instead ofthe traditional German Shepherds (GSD) or Belgian Malinois (BM) typically utilized in detection canine work. Because the critical drives for detection work of the GSP’s are significantly different than these other breeds, the HRD Instructors were challenged to use their diagnostic and problem solving skills to develop non- traditional training techniques to which these canines would be receptive. These skills and non- traditional methods were used throughout the entire training timeline from odor introduction/initial imprinting, reward object selection, drive build-up exercises, to the actual water search training for submerged human remains. During the course and between training HRD Instructors advised and assisted in establishing a sustainable, organic, formal training program to be maintained by the Government of El Salvador. This program will serve as a future model for HRD training in Central America. SAR DOG NEWS March/April 2017 Page 3 After 10 full weeks of facing both venue and canine drive related challenges, the HRD Instructors were able to successfully graduate the first two Customs and Border Protection certified HRD Handlers/Instructors not only in El Salvador but in all of Central America. This was also the first time that any canine team outside of the United States has been certified under the umbrella of the National Search Dog Alliance in HRD. These two new canine teams are expected to be extremely busy throughout the countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Most of their requests for the HRD discipline will be used in the location of clandestine gravesites utilized by Transnational Criminal Organizations, Drug Trafficking Organizations, and organized criminal gangs. The remains located will be used as evidence for prosecution in criminal cases as well as to give closure to numerous families of homicide victims throughout Central America. 2017 HERO DOG AWARDS Nominations for the 2017 American Humane Hero Dog Awards® closed on March 8, 2017.

Alexander, B.S., Sam Houston State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Ted Friend Events of significant impact as recent as hurricane Ike yielded a consistent disturbing truth: we lack sufficient numbers of competent search dog [Canis familiaris] teams. This study was conceived to provide information in identifying factors involved in training competent search dogs. Obedience training methods, age training was initiated, previous handler canine training experience, and handler perception and emotional attachment to their search dog were examined through a sixty-six question survey. Achievement of a national certification was used as a measure of performance success. Association between factors and performance success was evaluated through Chi-Square testing. Surveys were announced through the National Search Dog Alliance (NSDA) and were available online; 177 were fully completed by respondents and used in the data analysis. Seventy-two percent of nationally certified canine team respondents preferred positive reinforcement methods.
