Abstract:
Narcotic Detection Dogs (NDDs) are essential tools in the fight against drug trafficking, acting with high precision and improving efficiency at border posts. When trained efficiently, these dogs can detect a great variety of compounds, such as cocaine, marijuana and its derivatives, and synthetic drugs, among others. Most of the knowledge on canine detection processes and efficiency has been determined in experimentally controlled conditions, but narcotic seizures detected by dogs in realistic anti-drug operations have not yet been critically determined in a Country with continental dimensions such as Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the data set concerning the performance, operations, efficiency, and success rate of NDDs used by the Brazilian Customs Authority (Aduana) in the fight against drug trafficking. Narcotic seizure rates increased in luggage and packages detected by NDDs working at border crossings from 2010 to 2020, with an estimated value of over US$ 2 billion in losses to the cocaine drug trafficking business. NDD units also increased most narcotic groups seized in the same period. The number of NDDs and anti-drug operations, and Customs Border Post (CBP) influenced the rates of drugs seized. NDDs provided an increase of 3,157 kg/animal of drugs seized for every new dog introduced into the inspection systems.
摘要:
毒品侦查犬(NDD)是打击毒品贩运的重要工具,高精度行动,提高边境哨所的效率。当训练有效时,这些狗可以检测到各种各样的化合物,比如可卡因,大麻及其衍生物,和合成药物,在其他人中。大多数关于犬类检测过程和效率的知识都是在实验控制条件下确定的,但是,在像巴西这样的大陆地区,狗在实际的禁毒行动中发现的麻醉品缉获量尚未得到严格确定。本研究旨在评估有关绩效的数据集,操作,效率,以及巴西海关管理局(Aduana)在打击毒品贩运中使用的NDD的成功率。从2010年到2020年,在边境口岸工作的NDD发现的行李和包裹中的麻醉品缉获率增加,可卡因贩毒业务的损失估计超过20亿美元。NDD单位还增加了同期缉获的大多数麻醉团体。NDD的数量和禁毒行动,海关边境站(CBP)影响了缉获毒品的比率。对于引入检查系统的每只新狗,NDD的缉获毒品增加了3,157千克/动物。
