Detection Dog Spotlight: Mike and Drago

On a recent patrol sweep of a west coast hospital emergency department, Enhanced Protection Services Canine Handler Michael Garcia noticed an unattended backpack. Immediately, he and his German Shepherd partner, Drago, approached the bag for a search and cleared the suspicious item within seconds. The team is a valuable addition to the hospital’s layered security plan and a proactive response to the rise in violence, particularly active shooter incidents, across our nation’s hospital campuses.
