2012 K9 Seminar Update
Repelling
Officers wishing to learn how to repel and with their canines will spend a day along the Snake River Canyon. Officers will first learn how to safely rapel themselves and then learn how to incorporate their K-9's. I know this is a strange exercise, but what great environment conditioning.Water deployments
Officers will deploy their K-9's from a boat onto shore for a decoy hiding along the shore line. K-9's will be deployed far enough from the shore so that the K-9s will be forced to swim first.Live fire exercises
Officers will have time on the range, working with their k-9s with live fire. Officers will work on firing and deploying their K-9s , the emphasis will be control of the K-9 and safety.Stairwell, roof top or blind searches
We have been working on using the old hospital for hidden quarry searches. Still waiting for the county commissioners to approve our request. The plan is for large searches for a hidden quarry. I have a vacant two story house for use on building searches. I have a large commercial building for building searches. I have the entire fairgrounds reserved. We have buildings, open areas, arenas, and animal stalls.I have the Filer schools reserved, as well as a private school. These are all good training areas for narcotic searches. I am working on arranging a narcotic search at a large feed lot. This is a good search with lots of distractions for detection work. I have a tow yard with approximately 20-25 vehicles arranged for detection work. I have arranged a classroom at CSI for two days. Andy will be conducting a classroom training for record keeping and courtroom testimony. Given the recent cases going to the Supreme Court, this timing is good.
In addition to these activities, Jeff, Andy and the third trainer will have activities. This is where I am at so far. Let me know if you want anything specific or changes.
