To The Rescue

K9 Officers provide specialized skills, such as apprehension, detection and search and rescue and are extremely agile and fast. They are trained to bite dangerous suspects and hold them hostage until the suspect can be apprehended by officers. The dogs are often trained to detect various drugs, explosives, accelerants and other crime scene evidence. A large part of law enforcement work is searching for lost or missing persons. In the case of search and rescue, dogs can be trained to find living victims and the remains of deceased humans; the ability of dogs to cover large areas in a relatively short period of time is an invaluable resource.
