dWhat about something about the legal aspects in various countries? eg. do search dogs wielded by police require a warrent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.75.95 (talk) 06:42, September 15, 2006 (UTC) if you have a jay in your pocket and you walk by one do they go crazy, or do they have to be commanded into "detection mode" to be stimulated into a response? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.213.177.161 (talk) 04:23, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedians, I think the article could be improved by giving more information on how detection dogs are used to detect covid-19 and how you could qualify to possibly obtain a detection covid-19 dog. You could find more information to do this on this cites. https://www.lung.org/blog/can-dogs-detect-covid-19#:~:text=And%20for%20a%20disease%20with,about%205%20or%206%20million.

Merger Proposal


I propose merging Vapor wake canine into Detection dog. I think the content in vapor wake canine can easily be explained in the context of Detection dog, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Detection dog.Annwfwn (talk) 02:22, 24 April 2022 (UTC)


 * No, I think it needs to be expanded as a standalone. The VAPOR WAKE® detector dog technology was created by Auburn U's College of Vet Med & they own the patent.  It's a "scientifically-based method for selecting, training, and employing dogs for the detection of hand-carried and body-worn hazardous materials such as person-borne improvised explosive devices."  It is clearly notable. Here are a few of the secondary sources (and I found quite a few articles in science journals & academic papers as well): Rolling Stone, PetMd, Alabama News Center, Harvard CRCL, Wired, NBC WVTM 13, CBS News. I'm wondering about Tracking (dog) vs Detection dog – those 2 are pretty similar.  Atsme  💬 📧 05:20, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge I think that Vapor Wake canines are a type (or brand) of detector dog and the articles should be merged. A patent doesn't on its own confer notability, and I don't think this product is notable. Looking at the coverage, most of the articles read like they were written after receiving a press release, suggesting that Auburn's PR department was able to generate coverage because the subject matter (terrorism, dogs, and police) is appealing to news organizations. What I don't see is coverage of this product as a game-changer, i.e., that it has demonstrably increased the ability to detect bombs in large crowds in specific situations over time, or replaced existing detector dogs because they're better. Most of the articles date from 2018 and earlier, yet there's no indication of wide adoption or use since then. Police departments with large budgets can purchase new technology regardless of actual need or efficacy and aren't required to prove that need or efficacy in a standardized way, or with independent review. It also behooves them to publicize their use of new tech, to highlight that they're increasing public safety, so coverage is easily manipulated. — Matuko (talk) 15:35, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

June 2012 Nevada Highway Patrol lawsuit
An update on the 2012 NHP lawsuit is long needed. By 2017 (when the lawsuit was decides) it turned out to be a first amendment case. The plaintiffs sued because a superior sent an email asking members of the K9 unit not to talk about their on duty work with a non-profit that was "making trouble" at the capital.
