Conservative Party leader David Cameron has leant his full support to a new joint initiative devised by two leading security companies – Grosvenor International Services (GIS) and International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) – who are providing dogs trained in explosives detection in combination with innovative solutions for clearing cargo that will, together, assist greatly with the ongoing ‘war on terror’.

Cameron received a private briefing on advanced techniques – dubbed RASCO – based around ‘remote air sampling’ that the dogs and their handlers use to detect explosives or prohibited articles at airports and cargo facilities. The techniques employed were developed in collaboration with scientists from the Defence Science and Technical Laboratory.

Cameron also looked on as dogs searched for Semtex hidden on a bus at the GIS headquarters in Oxfordshire.

Speaking exactly one year on from the 7/7 atrocities that took place in central London, the Tory chief added: “The fight against terrorism isn’t just about the police service. All businesses and companies involved with security and transport, as well as local Government and individual citizens, have a huge role to play.”
