has been extensively trained through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms,
and Explosives' (ATFe) 10-week training program. Chance is able to detect
explosives, explosives residue, and post-blast evidence. He is also conditioned
with the ability to detect firearms, ammunition, as well as other products that
contain smokeless powder and explosive fillers.
Chance has been extremely busy since joing the Fire Marshal's

the Shenandoah Region.
Chance is available for public demonstrations.
