Text 3 Canine Enforcement at Rostov Customs
Canine enforcement is one of the highest priorities for Customs officers.
Dogs can be trained to detect not only narcotics but firearms, ammunition and explosives.
Drug detector dogs are like X-ray machines, fiber-optic camera devices – they are a tool that extends the ability of the Customs control officer in the workplace.
The first handlers with canine detectors appeared at Rostov Customs in 1997. Drug detection work at Rostov Customs is considered to be one of the best in the system of the Federal Customs Service. There are two types of detector dogs at Rostov Customs:
- multi-scented, trained to detect drugs (17 canine units): cannabis, marijuana, heroin, amphetamine and some others;
- 3 canine units are trained to detect firearms, ammunition and explosives but not drugs.
The handlers are trained to interpret the dog’s behaviour or “indications” when they are confronted with the presence of drugs.
There are various dog breeds at Rostov Customs: Rottweilers, Spaniels, Labradors and Alsatians. The veteran of the Customs Service Rottweiler Greta worked since 1997 and found out 130 kg of narcotics.

1. When did Rostov Customs first experiment with dogs to sniff out drugs?
2. What are the main breeds selected for drug detection work?

Exercise 16. Read Text 4 to speak on Rostov Airport Customs.
Text 4 Rostov Airport Customs
Today Rostov Airport Customs is a multifunctional service with modern technologies which enable to make the process of registration effective.
The Airport Customs deals with clearance and control of goods transported across the Customs border by air. It is to register planes, passengers, members of the crew, cargo, luggage, international and diplomatic mail, etc.
The use of the dual-channel system improves the flow of passenger traffic. The simplified Customs control is another move towards improving the flow of passengers.
Rostov Airport is the third airport in Russia to enter into the anti-drug alliance with Customs after Moscow and St. Petersburg. More flights and a greater number of passengers require increased vigilance by all parties and greater awareness of the potential for drug smuggling.
Security and control procedures are regularly reviewed to minimize unauthorized access to airport premises equipment and cargo shipment.
Exercise 17. Find the English equivalents to the following word- combinations (from Text 4):
система двойного коридора; регистрация членов экипажа; многофункциональная служба; упрощенная процедура таможенного контроля; союз с таможней в борьбе против наркотиков; растущая бдительность; осознание потенциальных угроз со стороны контрабандистов; несанкционированный доступ к помещениям аэропорта.
Exercise 18. Translate the following into Russian.
The challenge of fulfiling the responsibility in the face of increasing workloads, expansive border areas, complex international relationships, and changing smuggling threats dictates that Customs be in the vanguard of law enforcement techniques and strategies.
