UK: Dog gets a whiff of school's problem Glen Owen The Times Thursday 17 Jan 2002 BONNIE the police sniffer dog was meant to be on a day off when she was taken to a school to be patted and stroked by the children. By the end of her visit four pupils had been arrested for the possession of cannabis. The German pointer accompanied her handler to Ilfracombe School and Community College in north Devon, where the policeman was addressing pupils about the dangers of drugs. As the pupils were filing out at the end of the talk, Bonnie caught a whiff of something suspicious and became excited. David Humphries, the school's principal, then allowed her to search the locker room, where she found several hoards of drugs. Mr Humphries said yesterday that four boys - three aged 15 and one aged 16 - had been suspended. One of themmay be prosecuted after being found with 1.54g of cannabis resin. He said: 'I want to emphasise that the college does not have a major drug problem, but neither are we so naive as to think the college is immune from the drug culture present in British society.' Pupils at Portsmouth Grammar School are to be given random drug tests after a number of sixth-formers admitted using cannabis. Four pupils have left the school and two have been suspended after teachers caught them smoking joints.
