TSA K9 DECOY PROGRAM

TSA K9 DECOY PROGRAM

TSA is seeking federal volunteers who may be interested, willing, and available to participate in the Explosive Detection K-9 Program at the Mitchell International Airport (MKE) in Milwaukee, WI, and/or the Midway (MDW) or O’Hare (ORD) Airports in Chicago, IL. The K9 teams train daily to detect, deter, and prevent threats to the traveling public and commercial aviation. You will be playing the role of passengers and carry ‘training aids’ during your decoy volunteer time.
