Explosive Detection Canine Team - EDCT Services

USHMM is an independent establishment of the United States government. USHMM is the national institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history and serves as this country's memorial to the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust. USHMM's primary mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy, preserve the memory of those who suffered, and encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust. USHMM's ability to provide for the security and safety of its staff, visitors, property, and collections is paramount to the successful operation of the Museum. As such, and with an increasing number of visitors and events, USHMM's DPS has an uncompromising need to detect the presence of explosive material(s) and/or devices introduced onto Museum property in delivered and hand carried packages. The EDCT will be required as needed to examine such items delivered by vehicles, couriers, abandoned by visitors and/or other persons on USHMM property, including off-site USHMM locations or adjacent areas..
