LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. — The 19th Security Forces Squadron recently certified the newest military working dog drug detection team on Little Rock Air Force Base.

With over 28 years of cumulative service, Tech. Sgt. Brooks Jones, 19th SFS MWD trainer and handler, and MWD Alfa, stand ready to uphold the standards set by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and make a positive impact on the base.

“Working with Alfa has been very easy,” Jones said. “Since I’ve spent time training her in the past, I know how she reacts to different situations. We have a high level of trust in each other.”

With base security and drug prevention playing a critical role, the MWD team must always be on high alert as every detail is integral to upholding the integrity of the installation.

“As Defenders, our job is to deter, detect and defeat all crimes,” said Maj. Andrew Ferguson, 19th SFS commander. “Illegal use of drugs is a crime that is incompatible with Air Force standards. If you commit a crime on LRAFB, we will catch you and you will be held accountable.”
