K9 teams are utilized in many different ways. The primary use of any K9 is through their nose. A K9’s sense of smell is over 100 times greater than a humans allowing them to locate people or contraband quicker and better than their human partners. K9s trained in apprehension are often utilized as a deterrent to potential violent encounters in which the presence and sound of the K9 alone often prevents any force from being used. It is difficult to measure how much more efficient K9 teams are then solo officers or deputies, but we know in our rural county they are an indispensable asset in keeping safe the lives of our deputies, officers, and the community members they serve.
