Prison Dogs

139 Mr TELFER (Flinders) (7 February 2024). Aside from the Mobilong and Adelaide Women's Prison Greyhounds as Pets (GAP) programs:

(a) In what other ways does the Department for Correctional Services (DCS) utilise dogs in prisons?

(b) How many dogs in total are utilised in these ways?

The Hon. D.R. CREGAN (Kavel—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Special Minister of State): I have been advised:

The Department for Correctional Services' Operations Security Unit utilises 12 Passive Alert Detection dogs which are trained to identify contraband.
