2019 Explosives Detection Canine Handler Supervisor Survey
Thank you for sending your employee to the ATF Explosive Detection Canine Handler training course. The Office of
Human Resources and Professional Development (HRPD) is committed to excellence and providing current and
effective training. Your feedback about the effectiveness of ATF training to prepare your employee to perform his
or her duties is very important to us. Please provide us with information about your satisfaction with your
employee's experience by completing this survey, which will take about 10 minutes. Your responses and
comments will be used to evaluate the training and make updates on the course so that it continues to meet your
staff's requirements.
Organization
This survey is organized in two parts. The first consists of general questions that are used in all ATF training surveys
so that we can compare responses to other courses offered by the Bureau. The second part consists of course
specific questions. Please take the time to respond to both parts.
