K9 Handling is an essential aspect of law enforcement, and while it is an exciting job, it is also a serious one. One of the most basic yet commonly overlooked aspects is K9 report writing.

This 16-hour course uses online instruction, handouts, and practical exercises to teach students how to write a K9 deployment report systematically. By the end of the class, an attendee will be well-equipped to create clear and concise reports that accurately capture the crucial details of any K9 deployment.
