K-9 Demonstration
Criminology students observed a canine search demonstration conducted by a San Antonio Police Department officer on February 2, 2009.
"We have students interested in wide range of professions, from forensics and law enforcement, to positions oriented toward the treatment and prevention of criminal behavior," said Dr. Durant Frantzen.
Students in Introduction to Criminology attended a lecture provided by Officer Villarreal describing the various functions of police canines in law enforcement. The drug war, in particular, has prompted numerous reforms that raise new social and legal issues for courts and policymakers to resolve. One of our tasks is to provide a forum for students to engage in critical assessment and discussion about these issues.
