• Garrison & Sloan canines are never cross-trained. Canines that are cross-trained can never be 100% reliable because a handler can never be certain as to what substance (explosive, narcotic, human) the canine is responding to. This exposes clients to a high degree of liability because clients cannot plan for critical response plans, standard operating procedures (including evacuation protocol), and law enforcement coordination without knowing what substance prompted the canine’s alert.
