The talk was really good with Mr Brotheridge the prison dog
hander giving us a demonstration of what the dogs can actually do. The meeting
was an informal meeting with the speaker talking about what prison life is
really like and how they always have to up there game to make sure that no
drugs, alcohol and mobile phones/ sim cards are smuggled into the prison, he
also talked about all the risks with being a dog handler in a prison with being
followed by prisoners families and trying to hurt the dogs. It was incredible
to see the dogs (Tyler and poacher) work with finding the sim and mobile which hadn’t
been used in years and the battery disconnected in less than a minute. The speaker
also made it interactive with using one of our members as a decoy with placing
a pad with less than a milligram of a drug on it with the dog finding it
straight away. All in all a total cracking meeting.
