The latest crime-fighting tool for the state Division of Prisons is also man's best friend. Officials are hoping the dogs will help fight the war on drugs behind bars. 'Inmates are creative as far as drugs,' Capt. James Moody of the state Division of Prisons. 'They secure them in body cavities. They hide them in shampoo bottles.' As a result, the state Department of Correction are using dogs in an effort to decrease the flow of drugs into prisons. This past fall, the department received a grant to purchase six dogs. Seven dogs, in all, will be used in prison systems across the state. The dogs can trace everything from heroin and methamphetamines to crack cocaine. 'They can detect a seed in an ashtray of marijuana. It's amazing, the olfactory process,' dog trainer Sgt. Eddie Poole said. The dogs are also used to hunt for escapees. |

Hiring an attorney can present confusing situations for someone. It’s hard to tell whether you’ll get the best service possible in your situation. You likely have a lot of questions. Will your lawyer hand off your matter to someone else? Will your lawyer return your phone calls? It’s hard to know without someone you can trust. If you been hit by a speeding driver in Waco you need a lawyer. People in Central Texas have trusted Dunnam & Dunnam for almost 100 years for their most pressing legal concerns. They understand the value of a good advocate. They’re a family helping Waco families since 1925.
