Met Chief Bans Drug Sniffer Dogs

Posted by FoM on March 01, 2002 at 10:18:18 PT By Humfrey Hunter  Source: Evening Standard UK  The Met commander who described anarchism as "appealing" is reported to have banned sniffer dogs from Brixton, an area notorious for drugs and gun crime. Brian Paddick, commander of Lambeth, has barred the animals across the borough because of fears that they upset Afro-Caribbeans. Glen Smyth, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation union, said: "The dogs are worth their weight in gold and quite simply we cannot hope to stamp out the drug problem which fuels so many other crimes without dogs trained to detect drugs."
