The Handler

K9 units could be an effective and efficient tool given the proper training and funding. Dogs have been used for a very long time in a variety of roles, law enforcement being one of the main areas dogs are utilize in. Training practices vary depending on departments and jurisdiction. We need to understand and study the effectiveness of units given their training and positions. This is because K9 units can be time consuming and costly, so we need to know where to best place our officers and…

Over the course of the last 15 years, my body has been taken over by FBI handlers for experimentation ad surveillance. It started just after September 11, 2001, and it has caused immense challenges for me in my own life. I went from running my own business to slapping myself, yelling and being completely unable to work. My business closed down, and I was put into a mental hospital by my father. This was done, I believe, as an attempt to discredit me by diagnosing me as bipolar and schizophrenic.…

Seizure-response dogs do not detect and warn their handler about an incoming seizure. Instead, they assist the human once the seizure begins. This generally consists of circling around their owner, moving nearby objects, or pushing a button that notifies emergency services. In these ways, the seizure-response dog refrains their handler from walking into safety hazards, falling, or allowing one of their frequent seizures to convert into an abnormal…

response services. Firstly, I am going to talk about how the police force grades an emergency incident. Once a call is taken by one of the call handlers working for the police. They must decide on whether the incident is resolvable over the phone or if further action is needed. Overall there are 4 main grades, which are; Grade 1- emergency response. The call handler will only use this grade if the incident is or is likely to result with; - threat of violence - serious damage to public or…

The initial cost to start a K-9 unit is $20,000-$29,000 (Bullington). This figure doesn’t include the maintenance training and general living expenses for the dog, including food and vet care. If there isn’t a spare vehicle that can be converted to accommodate the needs of a K-9 unit, a special one must be purchased. Proper equipment is essential as well. The canine is an investment and must be carefully thought out. It’s not just the material essentials that are expensive; being accountable…

just a few days old. Volunteers pet, hold, and play with the puppies so that they are used to human interaction. At two years old, they live with a puppy trainer to learn simple commands. They go everywhere their trainer goes. Accompanying their handler at work, the mall, the grocery store, and riding on trains and buses are only a few examples of how they learn to become comfortable and relaxed but focused around new people, sights, and smells (Fetty, 15). Their special training comes in when…

From the research provided by Britton and Button (2005), management at a Kansas correctional facility recognizes the inmate’s behavior adjustment with the dogs. The handlers involved with the program “believe that the dogs help them deal with anger, teach them patience, give them unconditional love, and simply make doing time a little easier.” These attitudes influence other inmates to behave similarly if they want a…

Move and Act As If someone is tracking you while in the Woods This is a Survival Habit That Anyone Can and Should Develop Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that animals and humans use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Camouflage is used to disguise location, identity, and movement. Crypsis is simply blending into your surroundings to avoid detection and most humans would use cryptic coloration. In other words, mimic the…

last five years died as a result of being locking inside a hot car. In addition, another 18 dogs died of heatstroke after they were pushed too hard during the training exercises. They were tied outside and placed in direct sunlight after. Veteran handlers and animal advocates alike say that these deaths were preventable and resulted because of negligence. Wix, a bomb-sniffing police dog from Brown County, became the first dog in Wisconsin to die from heatstroke in recent memory. When the heat…
