1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: It's time for our favorite segment.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Lawrence, tell me what you know?

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Yes, proper. We are big fans of the Victorian police

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 3: and we've got.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 4: The cuts police officer we've ever seen. Touching it can't

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 4: stop playing.

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: Please don't touch him. His name is Senior Sergeant Mark Boyson.

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Mark, here you go go.

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: We are excellent, also very handsome. Mark has brought with

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 4: him Riggs, puppy police dog.

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Is it true?

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 4: Twelve we called German shepherd.

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: Has Riggs been named after leitha weapon? Riggs and Merton?

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, he's Yes.

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 5: We give the handlers an opportunity to come up with

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 5: some names and we sort of victim and see how

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 5: we go.

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: And hear that went past the.

19
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 4: Master Riggs in the studio.

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: Guys, we got a.

21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 6: Situation could be so okay, So Riggs in, when does

22
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 6: he start training? He's twelve weeks.

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 5: Well he started now effectively, but it's more with his age.

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 5: It's more about the environmental training and making sure he

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 5: stands up to those sort of rigors that we want

26
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 5: him to show when he finally gets operational down the track,

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 5: which would probably be we're not looking for him to

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: be a police dog. For another twelve fourteen, sixteen months

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 5: even it just depends on how that development goes. And yeah,

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 5: so there's a lot of development happening now.

31
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 4: Though what sort of thing will he be sniffing out?

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 4: Is he like an attack dog?

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: Not that we don't call him that, no, but no,

34
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: definitely not. He's a tracking dog.

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 5: So he'll be used on frontline policing for general purpose

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 5: work we call it. So that'll be tracking for criminals effectively,

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 5: and we'll train him to look for people. It could

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 5: also be a searching at this scenario for missing people,

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 5: could also be for subduing.

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: We've just got to know.

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 5: The facts are that sometimes the scenarios where we need

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 5: the dog for seat scenarios top.

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Safe Clint's committed a crime.

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: Believable hypothetical, I give you something of Clint's to sniff, like.

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: His hat, for example, is that what they do do they.

46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 5: Sense a bit of There are dogs that do sense

47
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 5: discriminate like that, and so that's probably a lot of

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 5: what you see with bloodhounds and things like that. And

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 5: so no, it's about we do know that they send

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 5: discriminate to a point, but it's about most recent human sense.

51
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: So that initial imprinting is about understanding human sense. So

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 5: the dog will will just basically scuff the ground whence

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: the dog indicates that they get a little reward and

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: it develops from there in terms of to a track.

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: Now indicating PCs Clint outside down down the street right,

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: and you're like, that's our crim Do you let him

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: off the lead and can he bring Clint down?

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: Hopefully that is never required, but look, the realistic nature

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 5: of the job is that we do have to train the.

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: Dogs to do those types of things.

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: Yes, and are they taught to like do they fight

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: or they just latch on, to latch on and hold.

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

64
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: So now German shepherds are amazing because I have one

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: growing up and it could jump over like a six

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: meter fence. They're quite six meters seems a lot. Maybe

67
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: not six, maybe like two and a half meter defence,

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: but they're pretty amazing.

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: And we do train them to do that. Now, we

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: also have other breeds, but probably the good thing about

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 5: the German shepherds they are all around U so to speak.

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 5: They could day track, they search, they bite, they do

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 5: everything we want.

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no offense, I'm not scared about a beagle latching

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: on no.

76
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: But now Melian was which are Belgian shepherds. They are

77
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: farm more agile, and we've got a number of them

78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: at the moment. We've probably got up towards ten at

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: the moment, and they're becoming far more predominant now they're

80
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 5: used in the military, etc. We've sort of moved into

81
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 5: a number of those dogs. They've got a they're far

82
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 5: more agile than the shepherd.

83
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: Now, I'll tell you what while we've got the cops

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: here thirteen twenty fourteen, if you have any questions for

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: the dogs this morning thirteen twenty four ten to join

86
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: us on the air. You were saying it could be

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: sixteen months till he's fully trained. If he passes, he

88
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: then becomes a fully fledged police officer. So any rules

89
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: like us touching you, If we touch him, technically we've

90
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: assaulted a police officer.

91
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: I think what's like that with the horses too.

92
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, we prefer we're very risk averse with our

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 5: dogs in terms of we really you know, if someone

94
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: is approaching us, if they ask, more often than not

95
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 5: we'll say no because they were in working mode. But

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: certainly we want dogs that are really they can be

97
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 5: out there and we can comfortably walk them down the street.

98
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: They're not just going to latch on the sorder. We don't.

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: We really got to look at temperament. Temperament's a massive

100
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: part of what we're looking for.

101
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: And we were the same when building this show.

102
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: We three dopey people, put them all together and see

103
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 4: what happens?

104
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 6: Do you do you grow attached?

105
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 5: Oh, without question. I've had a number of dogs over

106
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: the years, and and there's no doubt about it. I'm

107
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: not too proud to say that I've eyes had over

108
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 5: a couple of dogs. And you know, once because of

109
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 5: that association, you have that your partner because we work by.

110
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Ourself, and did you get partnered up?

111
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 5: And then you're there your dog for life? They live

112
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: with us, they live with their families, come home with you.

113
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: To hang on. How long would they stay in the service?

114
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: For generally speaking? Can hear and growling over there?

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: We what's he found.

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: By protein powder around thee The probably do on average around.

117
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Eight years of service and then they retire them. Do

118
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: you keep absolutely so many dogs you got at home?

119
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: I've only got the one at the moment, but I'm

120
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: sort of not in I'm not chasing too many dogs

121
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 5: these days, or behind too many dogs these days, I'm

122
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: leaving it to the younger men.

123
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Most cops keep keep the dogs.

124
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: Or with that question, you.

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: Couldn't give you fifty years Next year is the squad Wow,

126
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 5: And I'm yet to see one person who's never kept

127
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 5: their dog.

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's nice, Yeah, because you would spend so much

129
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: time together. I love when you see those videos about

130
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: the dogs retiring and they throw them a little farewell party.

131
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 4: I saw one of the airport dogs the other day

132
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 4: did its last service, and they dropped from the escalators

133
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 4: in the airport like fifty tennis balls and the dogs.

134
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: You're going to say fifty dogs.

135
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: Actually, that was really really I brought in a thing

136
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 5: just recently in the last couple of years that when

137
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 5: they do retire, we frame up a photo and a.

138
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: Park and that for the dog and the handler.

139
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 5: And I think it's really important to really acknowledge them

140
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 5: for what they've done. I mean they've been we ask

141
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: a lot of them.

142
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, all right, thirteen twenty fourteen. If you have

143
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: a question to probe the popo, there are so many

144
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 4: calls coming through.

145
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: All right, well we'll come back and take your calls

146
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:48,800

00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 6: No, no, no, we ran into each other in the

162
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 6: World Cup soccer World Cup.

163
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true Russia.

164
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: Is he behaving himself?

165
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: He was very good actually with his film the.

166
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: Second you introduced yourself with Senior Sergeant Mark Boyce, and

167
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: I bet he did.

168
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: It was just a coffee at the time.

169
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: Hey, Mark, I just touched on music festivals there.

170
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: What sort of dogs would you guys use to sniff

171
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: out like firearms, narcotics?

172
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: Money?

173
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: Yet that they're are labradors. So we have fifteen of

174
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 5: those and yeah, they're are detective dogs out Dubble. They're

175
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: really in high demand, so on any given day of

176
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 5: the week they're they'll be doing warrants on premises.

177
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 2: Basically might be a stupid question.

178
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: If you're a dog, you'd be a labordor Jason. You

179
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: could sniff anything out bit dopertally.

180
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be a whippedtrror.

181
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: The pastries come out here in the kitchen, Trust me,

182
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: how do they know the scent?

183
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Like? Have?

184
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: You got to get them around money and drugs and

185
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: get them used and.

186
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: It's all so odor recognition and it's just repetition.

187
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 5: So you introduce an odor to them, you can get

188
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: them to find, you know, whatever it is, and you

189
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: just keep introducing that odor, and once they give you

190
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 5: that impression that they've understood it, they're rewarded, and it's

191
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 5: just it's compounding from there. You continuously introduce that odor,

192
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 5: have that oidor present and they order and they understand

193
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: it over time.

194
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: And firearms have an odor.

195
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 5: Absolutely, so you've got obviously it's the powder itself quite obviously,

196
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 5: and also the cleaning, the oils and these types of

197
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: things there we're not specifically talking about the metal and

198
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: the wood, etc.

199
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Depending on the makeup of the actual firearm. It's all

200
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: the other componatory around it and.

201
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 5: The odors that are associated with a firearm and if

202
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: the firearm's been fired.

203
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 4: The dogs are gorgeous and they do an amazing job,

204
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: but are they protected at all?

205
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 7: Do they wear protective gear?

206
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 5: So out of general purpose dogs, they will wear a

207
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 5: vest that basically covers the cross the chest area. It's

208
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 5: actually a New Zealand development in this in the protection

209
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 5: for the animal. So we do have the ability to

210
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 5: put some panels into the sides of the vest. Yeah,

211
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 5: to give them added protection. Absolutely, you can whistle because

212
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: I can't. For certain people go to music festivals and

213
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 5: think about putting things up there. Dogs dogs can sniff

214
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: it up there.

215
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: They're pretty good about them, you.

216
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: Know, sniffing butts at the dog parks. I'm sure they

217
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: like it.

218
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: At music festival, where's the most where's the strangest plays?

219
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: You've found someone trying to hide something?

220
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 5: You might have hit on it, but yeah, that isle

221
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: will try all sorts of things, so you've probably I

222
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 5: don't know as far as your imagination can take it.

223
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Surprise.

224
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: Hey, we have got many calls coming through because people

225
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: love asking the police questions, let's go to Phillip Island. Colleen,

226
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: good morning. Do you have a questions Mike.

227
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: I'm just wanting do the dogs get to come home

228
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: with you every day as part of the family, and

229
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 5: then like you work with them every day and then

230
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 5: when they retire.

231
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: Do they get to live with you?

232
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

233
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I think that's a really good part of

234
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: that that bond is that mayor handlers have these dogs

235
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 5: from early phase, like he's going on with Rigs at

236
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 5: the moment, all the way through the career. And yes,

237
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 5: and we're fifty years old as a squad next year,

238
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: and we're really proud to say that there's not one

239
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: dog in all that time that hasn't been retired to

240
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 5: a family.

241
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 6: Can you train that out of them? Like, because they retire,

242
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 6: they've got to sort of settle into a retirement life.

243
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: Can you actually train what you mean, if you've got

244
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 6: a naughty uncle Christmas time, you know, all things happen

245
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 6: at Christmas and it's really.

246
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 5: Hard for him because it's their high drive dogs and

247
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 5: all they want to do is get into.

248
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: That car and go to work, and it is hard

249
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: for some of them.

250
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: Over time, they sort of wean themselves off at a bit,

251
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: but you always see that glint in their eye when they.

252
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: They want to go to work.

253
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: My uncle's yeah, right from Geelong.

254
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: Good morning. Have you got a question?

255
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 7: Yes, I do a good minding everyone. So once this

256
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 7: thing is your training, how long does it take actually

257
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 7: be something sort of got the dogs and what are

258
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 7: some of the things that you actually do to kind

259
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 7: of get that sort of training.

260
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: So Riggs is an example.

261
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 5: He's starting off now it's more of and environmental, so

262
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: making sure that he can stand up to the rigors

263
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: of being basically exposed to anywhere we take him, noises

264
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: and also you know in dark areas, all those.

265
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: Types of things.

266
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: He'storally a good job in the studio so far. He's

267
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: peed once and done a pool on the carpet, so

268
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: he's sitting into this environment.

269
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: Yes, he shamed himself.

270
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's not the first person to do it in

271
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: the studio.

272
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 5: But now we develop from there, so it's over time

273
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 5: we just continue to build up the disciplines that we

274
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 5: want from him. And that's mainly for him to use

275
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 5: his nose for tracking, and it's anything that's sent bearing

276
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: after that. So it's all about finding just discarded pieces

277
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 5: of evidence. But also then we've got to obviously understand

278
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 5: that the dog has courage. He's really got to show

279
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: that as well, so the dog can respond to a

280
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 5: number of scenarios where the expectation is he's got to

281
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 5: protect the handler and do his job, and that could

282
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 5: be about to subduing somebody. There's a lot involved to

283
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 5: understand that dog from twelve weeks of ages, Riggs is

284
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 5: we're not asking and putting him under a lot of

285
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: pressure until he does hit at least twelve forteen, sixteen months.

286
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 5: And that's why it takes so long, because you've got

287
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 5: to really let the dog grow so speak How.

288
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: Do you know when he's onto something like I've heard

289
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: the dogs at the airport will sit next to the luggage.

290
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: And you know what, they're all different, they're all unique

291
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 5: in the way they do it. But as a handler,

292
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 5: you are looking for classic indications and it's about.

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: A bark and no barking with these dogs.

294
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 5: It's about head movement, it's about change and in his

295
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: posture and the.

296
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: Way it's to you as a handler.

297
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 5: Because we run off, we run off a long lead,

298
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 5: so we'd be ten to fifteen meters behind the dog.

299
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: He's in a harness and we're tracking along with a

300
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 5: long lead and we're casting him across an area to

301
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 5: try and understand or see a change of behavior.

302
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: Right, that's why you have to know the dogs.

303
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: So absolutely we.

304
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 3: Won't borrow some of them for the kids at Westfield,

305
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: you know when the kids run off for me at

306
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: the shop. All right, Jackie in too longest to wrap

307
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 3: things up, jack wats your question for the paper.

308
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 7: It was just pretty much more like the training actually

309
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 7: as the police officer, is what you need to be

310
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 7: doing to actually be a dog handler?

311
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Like what do you go through once you go through

312
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: the academy?

313
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: Yeah?

314
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 5: Absolutely for what four years you were saying, we want

315
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 5: to we want a minimum of that, and it's really

316
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: just to because we're going to ask them to work

317
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: on their own but out there making good decision makers.

318
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: So they've got to have that really.
