School drug searches find little

NorthEscambia.com is reporting that the new drug search program that Superintendent Malcolm Thomas launched this school year has found few drugs. Each day, at least one middle or high school in the county is randomly visited by a canine officer and his dog. Out of 40-plus searches only three have resulted in drugs being found.

According to NorthEscambia: “The most searched schools have been Workman Middle and West Florida High School with six canine visits each, while Jim Bailey Middle and Pensacola High School have been searched just twice.
