This book gives comprehensive information on every aspect of the K9 unit, from administration to officer safety on the job. R.S. Eden presents training exercises and deployment procedures comprised of nearly two decades of personal knowledge and the practical experience of other officers. Action photos back up his points. In addition, the author examines the attitudes of law enforcement officers from both within and outside the K9 team and analyzes how this affects officer performance and morale. Some of the topics covered include K9 administration, the basics of survival, handler-control versus reasonable-force dogs, building searches, tracking, flashlight techniques, chemical agents, K9 trauma care, giving evidence in court, actual deployment scenarios, stress levels on the job, and record keeping. Eden concludes with a special section on K9 officers and dogs who have died in the line of duty.
