Implementing a canine patrol program in healthcare settings can reduce criminal activity. This article details the successful development and implementation of such a program.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Healthcare Administration
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Healthcare facilities face challenges with security and criminal activity.
  • The need for innovative security measures in healthcare settings is growing.
  • Canine units are increasingly recognized for their potential in various security applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the process of developing and implementing a canine patrol program in a healthcare setting.
  • To highlight the benefits of canine patrols, particularly in reducing criminal activity.
  • To share practical experiences and lessons learned from establishing a successful program.

Main Methods:

  • Program development involved stakeholder engagement and needs assessment.
  • Implementation focused on training protocols for canines and handlers.
