Canine Training Center Mission | Capital Investment and Facilities | Staff
MissionThe mission of Auburn University’s Canine and Detection Research Institute (CDRI) is to conduct research, development, and outreach activities to enhance canine and other substance detection technologies. These activities focus on the detection of hazardous materials to protect our schools, the general populace, and critical national infrastructure. CDRI also provides basic research, technological development, and education to the detector dog community.
To further the Institute, Auburn University has established the Auburn University Canine Detection Training Center (CDTC) at McClellan, Alabama. This Center trains dogs, handlers, trainers, and program managers in all facets of canine detection work. Instruction at the Center blends the craftsmanship of expert canine training professionals with the most recent technological advances.
A priority of the Center is to make canine detection technology available to state and local law enforcement agencies, as they are most often the first responders to situations that threaten public safety.
