NYPD Transit Bureau Seeks Explosives Detection Canines for Subway Security

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) Transit Bureau Canine Unit are soliciting bids for the supply of a minimum of thirty (30) untrained, Explosives Detection-capable canines to enhance patrols in the New York City subway system. These canines will be deployed to perform sweeps of crowded subway platforms, busy mezzanines, stairs, escalators and similar environments.

Canines must be capable of operating in conditions involving a barrage of noises, near moving parts, and overlapping odors. Their temperament must be bold enough to remain focused, undistracted and effective in many underground transit settings, yet docile enough to safely operate in close proximity to over 5.7 million passengers daily.
