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.

States through Hope K9 in Norco, California. Known

and most of all working.
Loki recently completed an eight-week Basic K9
Handler’s Course with Nine Mile K9 becoming certified

Working alongside Officer Zuccato, Loki will provide

strengthen their partnership, they look forward to
working together to serve the residents of Tehama
