DHEC 1026 – New Application for Canine Registration

As of July 1, 2008, the Bureau of Drug Control has established a policy that all canine registrations will be limited strictly to Law Enforcement entities. The Bureau of Drug Control will no longer register individuals who are not employed by a Law Enforcement entity, for the purpose of establishing a private business for canine drug training.

The Sheriff or Chief of the law enforcement agency will need to sign the application as the applicant/authorized individual responsible for the registration.  When you return the application, please provide a written protocol for the continued training of the dog.

The protocol should include the following:

  1. The canine handler's name(s), qualifications and training experience.
  2. The purpose of the training.
  3. A list of the drugs and the estimated quantities needed for the training.
  4. Where the training will be conducted and how the drugs will be packaged during the training.
  5. Security and storage of the drugs when they are not being used.

When we receive the application and written protocol, an inspector from this office will contact you to schedule an inspection, prior to issuance of the registration.
