We are seeking volunteers to assist TSA's National Explosive Detection Team Program at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD).
Your role will be to serve as a decoy and to carry a concealed training aid through an area where a Passenger Screening Canine (PSC) team is conducting search activity. This training is a critical component of maintaining, improving, and assessing the effectiveness of our PSC teams.
Prior to the training, you will be given a short safety briefing. You will then review and sign both a consent form and a non-disclosure form.

Mission Statement
The National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) exists to deter and detect the introduction of explosives devices into the transportation system. The program has been in existence since 1972 and has grown significantly in the past several years due to its proven effectiveness and reliability as a mobile security screening resource. Since 2011, TSA has deployed Passenger Screening Canines (PSC). PSC Teams are vital to TSA’s current risk-based security initiatives given their ability to detect explosives concealed on the body or artfully concealed in a passenger’s accessible property. Today, more than 1,000 funded NEDCTP teams are stationed at more than 100 of the nation’s airports, mass transit, and maritime systems.
Description
TSA was created in the aftermath of 9/11 to oversee security in all modes of transportation. As a volunteer, you will be assisting our highly trained canines in maintaining their level of efficiency and effectiveness as a tool to deter explosive devices from entering into the nation's transportation systems.
