Explosive detection dog experts consider 2023 priorities
Videoconference, 18-20 January 2023 — The Explosive Detection Dogs Study Group (EDD) gathered to review the outcomes of the group’s 2022 activities and to consider its priorities for 2023.
Key activities in 2023 will include updating EDD documentation so that it will be more useful for Member States, and developing an EDD mentoring programme for Member States who wish to develop a new EDD programme.
Following the discussions at the EDD workshop that took place in Paris in November 2022, the study group agreed to have a look at the EDD threat list, which contains explosives to be detected by dogs, and to consider updating it in line with the latest developments in the explosives detection dogs field and in the field of other aviation security explosive detection equipment.
