JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 27 - Drug Sniffing Dogs

I think school officials do have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs. According to The Network Unified Board of Education, "The goal here is [drug] prevention and minimizing these incidents, this is not a witch hunt by the police, it’s a way to help the school" (SOURCE). This shows that if there is a suspicion of drug activity on campus, the dogs will be able RESPOND in a much successful way than just ASSUMING one has illegal drugs on them.   This also shows that they can have an assembly where the dog comes in and searches them at a random time where they will not be able to get rid of the substance. According to Drug Dogs Pro/Con: Is it Invasion of Privacy or an Appropriate Preventative Action, "The threat of drug dogs at school will make the students fearful of bringing any illegal substances, thus creating a safer environment".(SOURCE). This shows that the PROCESS of bringing drug dogs on campus will be a much easier task because less people will bring drugs on campus, knowing that a dog will come randomly. This also shows that over time, the drug dogs will soon eliminate drugs on campus all together.  In conclusion, schools should have the right to bring drug sniffing dogs on campus because it will provide safety to the students that go there, and prevent illegal activity from happening there.
