Canine Detection Team Augmentation and Certification Act of 2006

H.R. 4958, the Canine Detection Team Augmentation and Certification Act of 2006, seeks to expand and standardize the use of detection dogs within the Department of Homeland Security to improve counter-terrorism and border security efforts. The bill directs the government to increase the number of trained canine teams at federal agencies and establishes a grant program to encourage the domestic breeding of these dogs within the United States. Additionally, it creates a national accreditation board to ensure consistent training standards across various federal, state, and private canine detection programs.
