Security Firm Offers Schools Free Trained Security Dogs in Grant Program
A San Antonio dog training firm is providing trained dogs free of charge to help improve safety in local school districts, according to KENS 5.
After a string of security scares at San Antonio schools, including the arrest of a student with three loaded guns at Madison High School, Jesse Stanley, a manager at Universal K9 is providing trained security dogs, which usually cost between $8,000 and $10,000 to school districts at no cost, as part of a grant program. The only charge would be for the time of the officer working with the animal, which are often former shelter dogs.
The training enables dogs to detect narcotics and weapons, even if they’re hidden in backpacks.
