Thunder Bay Police are getting a canine to help with child porn investigations
THUNDER BAY — By early next year, the Thunder Bay Police Service expects to have a dog in service with the ability to detect the presence of electronic storage devices as small as a microSD card.
An American charity, Operation Underground Railroad, will provide Thunder Bay police with a trained Labrador retriever, the required equipment, and training for the handler at no cost, while police will be responsible for food, checkups with a vet, and annual trips for training re-certification in Indianapolis.
He credited the diligence and creativity of its cyber crime unit for its ability to participate, and said Thunder Bay is fortunate to be part of a program that has already demonstrated its value in the Greater Toronto Area. Det. Andrew Ullock of Peel Regional Police has stated that their dog, a female yellow Labrador retriever, quickly altered the day-to-day workings of the internet child exploitation unit.
