NAICS Code 922120-08 Description (8-Digit)

The Narcotic & Contraband Dogs industry is a subdivision of the Police Protection industry, which involves the use of specially trained dogs to detect illegal drugs and other contraband items. These dogs are trained to use their sense of smell to locate hidden drugs and other illegal substances, and are often used in law enforcement operations to assist officers in detecting and apprehending criminals. The use of narcotic and contraband dogs is a highly specialized field that requires extensive training and expertise. Handlers must be skilled in working with dogs and must have a thorough understanding of the various types of drugs and other contraband items that dogs are trained to detect. In addition, handlers must be able to work effectively with law enforcement officers to ensure that the dogs are used safely and effectively in the field. The Narcotic & Contraband Dogs industry is an important part of the overall effort to combat drug trafficking and other criminal activities.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 922120-08 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The use of dogs in law enforcement dates back to ancient times, where they were used for hunting and guarding. However, the use of dogs in the detection of narcotics and contraband is a relatively recent development. In the 1960s, the United States began using dogs to detect drugs at airports and border crossings. The first drug-sniffing dog was a German Shepherd named "Hector" who was trained by the New York City Police Department in 1971. Since then, the use of narcotic and contraband dogs has become widespread in law enforcement agencies worldwide. In recent years, there have been notable advancements in the training and use of these dogs, including the use of electronic scent detection devices to aid in training and the development of new breeds specifically for detection work. In the United States, the use of narcotic and contraband dogs has become increasingly common since the 1980s. The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 provided funding for the training and use of these dogs in law enforcement agencies across the country. Since then, the use of these dogs has expanded to include not only airports and border crossings but also schools, prisons, and other public places. In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the accuracy of these dogs in detecting drugs, as well as the potential for false positives and racial profiling. Despite these concerns, the use of narcotic and contraband dogs remains an important tool in law enforcement.
