2
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:16,530
This event, is what we are calling the "operation REDDI

3
00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:20,540
event" and "REDDI" stands for "Regional 
Explosive Detection Dog Initiative".

4
00:00:20,540 --> 00:00:24,610
This is a partnership that we're doing with
 state and local law enforcement

5
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:28,720
to understand from them what kind of tools,

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,960
techniques and knowledge they need from
 the science and technology.

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,060
We're also trying to see and understand if the current

8
00:00:37,060 --> 00:00:41,150
training is matching the current threat
 list and the challenges that we face.


9
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:45,260
[Praises dog: Whoo hoo! Good dog, good dog, good dog!]

10
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:49,470
We're doing odor recognition testing, for various odors.

11
00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:53,470
Threat odors that we've seen and we're doing
 operational readiness scenarios that we've seen.

12
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:57,960
Where we are setting up independent problems for

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,140
operational environments that they are used to
 searching, vehicle searches, room searches

14
00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:06,330
to be able to give them a feel
 for their operational readiness.

15
00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:10,450
[Praises dog: Good Girl]
 So one of the premises of our program within

16
00:01:10,450 --> 00:01:14,750
science and technology is to help these guys understand

17
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:18,940
how to train more effectively and efficiently.
 [Praises Dog: Good job, Good job]

18
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:22,960
We wanna be able to learn from the state and local law

19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:27,090
enforcement as much as we can share what
 we've already learned in being able to

20
00:01:27,090 --> 00:01:31,250
go to other regions and share. 
So we're learning as much

21
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:35,460
from these exercises as we are
 able to share with them.

22
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:39,630
So we can then focus our federal resources

23
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:43,720
in filling the gaps that we identify and sharing those things

24
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,870
that other regions are doing that help them
 be more proficient at these threat odors.
