Narcotic detection dogs from the U.S. Custom Service’s center near Front Royal checked out Rappahannock High School last Wednesday and brought in a “certified drug free” verdict.

The dogs conducted a sniff search on lockers, bathrooms and the shop class as part of a regular training exercise. Training - sessions are generally held in Warren County Schools but this time the dogs travelled to Rappahannock at the request of school administrators here, according to Gene Kerven, supervisory instructor at the Center.

"All we’re doing is training,” said Kerven. He explained that his program was in desperate need of practice areas with different environments and distracting influences. “We’re grateful for the areas to work in,” he added.

The dogs at RCHS were young animals, new at the art of drug detection. Several were a little hesitant at entering a strange place, especially when toenails started slipping and clicking on the tile floor.
