"The Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines (SWGDOG) is a partnership of local, state, federal and international agencies including law enforcement and first responders. This project was undertaken as a response to concerns coming from a variety of sectors including law enforcement and homeland security regarding the need to improve the performance, reliability, and courtroom defensibility of detector dog teams and their optimized combination with electronic detection devices. This project was modeled after the successful precedent of a variety of other scientific working groups (SWG’s), SWGDOG being the eleventh since 2005. Presently there are thirteen SWG’s as of 2009 all challenged with developing internationally recognized consensus-based best practice guidelines developed by a membership of respected scientists, practitioners, and policy makers representing diverse backgrounds. SWGDOG general meetings have been held biannually for the past five years to produce the initial set of guidelines with NIJ funding the management of this project and the travel for international members. The DHS and FBI have funded the travel and meeting costs for the domestic SWGDOG members for the past four years. The current success of SWGDOG is being manifest by a shift of several national canine organizations to adopt the approved best practice guidelines proposed. Though SWGDOG guidelines are not mandatory, this positive change is the ultimate goal of the working group. The continued approval and revision of SWGDOG documents has received an increased number of public responses and input which has shaped the documents making them publicly vetted. Establishing consensus based best practices for the use of detection teams is expected to provide a variety of benefits to local law enforcement and homeland security. Benefits include improved interdiction efforts as well as courtroom acceptance by improving the consistency and performance of deployed teams and optimizing their combination with electronic detection devices. While it is not technically part of the scope of SWGDOG, a future accreditation program based on SWGDOG guidelines will be an important mechanism to facilitate the adoption of these SWGDOG guidelines.".
