| Detector dog Delta, affectionately known as Delilah, has officially retired from her detector dog duties with Customs!
Throughout her five year career, Delta had the unique experience of being operational with three handlers, each contributing to her successful career as a drug, cash and firearms detector dog.
Delta enjoyed all aspects of working life – from trips down to Queenstown, screening risk vessels and containers, to assisting with Police search warrants.
Customs Officer Katherine says, "Delta always loved to help out in different ways. Her last duty with Customs was to assist Customs Technical Specialist Rob on the latest detector dog course in Christchurch. She was patient with the new handlers (something she learnt from having three different handlers!) and was always eager to please. The two dog teams passed validation so we thank Delta for her assistance."
Enjoy your retirement, Delta! |
