Canine Visitations
In our ongoing efforts to ensure a safe learning environment for students, the Glendora Unified School District has contracted with Kontraband Interdiction and Detection Services(KIDS) to bring specially trained dogs onto our campus to sniff out controlled substances. The purpose of this strategy is to serve as a deterrent to students who might bring illegal substances to school.
The dogs are trained to sniff out:
- Illicit drugs - marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine.
- Alcohol - beer, wine, liquor.
- Black gunpowder based items - guns, ammunition, fireworks.
- Residual odor - one of the above was previously present.
During random campus visitations the dogs will check lockers, gym areas, hallways, classrooms, parking lots and school grounds for potential contraband items. If a classroom is searched, students will be asked to leave the room during the brief time the canine team checks the room. Students have the option of taking their book bags, etc., when they exit. Under no conditions will the dogs be allowed to sniff the person of a student, employee, visitor or anyone else while on district property or at any district event.

School officials are authorized to conduct searches when there is reasonable suspicion that the search will uncover evidence that the student is violating the law, the rules of the disctrict or of the school.
