Whether tracking a fleeing suspect, locating hidden evidence, or detecting narcotics and explosives, these highly trained K9s are invaluable assets in the field. Yet many officers, both new and experienced, lack a clear understanding of how to work alongside them.
This essential guide bridges that gap, providing officers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about K9 deployments. From understanding the capabilities of police service dogs to ensuring proper backup and scene containment, this book serves as an indispensable resource for any law enforcement professional.
