This course will be instructed by Sonja Nordstrom, John Walker, Steve Warburton, Don Trusty, and Bill Dotson.  The student to instructor ratio will be low to allow for a great deal of individual attention in all phases of instruction.  The course will take the student through all phases of responding to a criminal search scene request with their dog. Through a combination of classroom and field work, students will learn how to work simulated crime scenes which mimic actual K9 search assignments in a variety of challenging environments and scenarios.  

Topics Covered:

• How best to communicate with and inform LE of K9 best practices.

• Protocols for working the scene.

• Maintaining integrity of the scene.

• Crime scene and evidence awareness.
