Abstract: The National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program/Canine Training and Evaluation Section (NEDCTP/CTES) is a component of TSA's Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service and is a cooperative partnership with participating airports and mass transit systems. The FAMS/CTES Explosives Detection Canine Handlers Course, Passenger Screening Canine Handler Course and the Supervisor/Trainer Seminars are given to state and local personnel as well as TSA personnel who are trained to be canine handlers. Following training, TSA requests that the course participants complete a course feedback form, which TSA uses to improve and adjust the course curriculum and develop best practices.
