Florida International University has been the leader in the scientific advancements for canine detection since 1998, establishing the standards for canine & handler detection team training.
By developing the universal detection calibrant (UDC), a proprietary training tool that focuses on the volatile organic compound (VOC) of a targeted scent, the Global Forensic and Justice Center (GFJC) Detection Dog Program is where the science meets behavior training. From saving South Florida’s avocado trees to stopping the spread of COVID-19 at Miami International Airport, dogs trained on GFJC standards are accurate, reliable, and able to be deployed in real-world settings.
Our team is innovating in early, low-cost scent detection through patented tools and techniques, with applications in criminal justice, environmental science, and public health.
