    Brief

    The Department for Transport (DfT) and associated developers have introduced two new target materials to the Free Running Explosive Detection Dogs (FREDDs) training kits. Operational explosive detection dogs must complete certification training with these new materials to maintain their operational capability and compliance standards. This opportunity involves providing certification services, training support, or material development to enable working dogs to be certified on these newly added targets. Suppliers with expertise in canine training, explosive detection materials, or certification protocols are encouraged to engage with DfT regarding their capabilities to support this initiative.
