K-9 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
Purpose
To enhance the capability of K-9 response in the State through
standardized operations, training and logistics.
The committee’s focus is on the overwhelming impact of an event,
natural or man made that exceeds local resources. The response
of regional resources would supplement a local jurisdiction or
region, and operate under their command and within their
established unified command structure.
This is a multi-disciplinary TAC which includes all aspects of
working dogs, such as Tracking/Trailing, Search and Rescue,
Cadaver, Explosives Detection, Accelerant Detection, Narcotics
Detection and General Patrol.
Ohio Response System K-9 TAC
3 year process
Establish a Statewide
Database separating
K-9s by utility
Develop a central
notification system for
K-9 deployment
Develop minimum
qualifications and
standards for K-9s
K-9 Response Regions
Homeland Security Planning Regions
K-9 teams are entered
into a database using
Homeland Security
Planning Regions
Response will come
from the closest
appropriate K-9 team

What K-9 Units Provide
Throughout Ohio there is a network of highly
trained K-9 teams providing services in Human
Remains Detection, Search and Rescue,
Tracking/Trailing, Explosives Detection,
Accelerant Detection, Narcotics Detection and
General Patrol
K-9 Teams can come from Law Enforcement,
Fire Departments or Professional, non-profit
volunteer K-9 teams
Situations for Using Human Remains
Detection (HRD)-Land K-9s
HRD K-9s can be used in
wilderness, rural,
suburban and urban
searches as well as
building and vehicle
searches
Initially focus on areas of
highest probability
including trails, roads and
last know points
HRD K-9s can be
utilized to aid in an
investigation and search
areas where a crime may
have taken place or to
rule out areas so an
investigation can move
forward
Capabilities of Human Remains
Detection K-9s (Land)
Capable of locating
human remains that
are buried, hanging
and at ground level
Capable of locating
an entire body as
well as small
quantities of blood,
bone and tissue
Since the K-9 is
searching for the
scent of
decomposition, the
presence of other
searchers or
investigators will not
affect their ability to
work
Human Remains Detection (HRD) – Water
Overview
Searching for scent of
decomposition in water.
Work from boats or along
the shoreline/bank
Scent moves through the
water via underwater
currents to the surface,
then moves along the
water via surface
currents and wind
Variety
of alerts;
passive, dig or bark,
which may differ from the
dog’s alert on land
Situations for Using Human Remains
Detection (HRD)-Water K-9s
HRD K-9s can be used
in wilderness, rural,
suburban and urban
environments to search
ponds, lakes, rivers or
streams
Capable of narrowing
down a search area for
dive teams
Once the search
has expanded, HRD
K-9s can be utilized to
search the remaining
area in a grid pattern
similar to a land grid
search
Situations for Using Area Search K-9s
In wilderness or rural
settings, area search
dogs can be used to
conduct hasty searches
along trails and high
probability areas
During expanded
operations, area search
K-9s can be assigned
search sectors
Situations for Using Area Search K-9s
In urban or suburban
settings, area search
dogs are useful in
working areas along
streams, railroad tracks,
construction sites (when
not in use)
Area search dogs are
also capable of
conducting building
searches
Capabilities for Area Search K-9s
One K-9 is capable of
Can work in conjunction
covering many acres in
a given time period,
therefore, saving time
and energy
Can be utilized during
the day and night
with other K-9 SAR
disciplines
Capable of alerting on
victim without visual
contact
Tracking K-9 Overview
Often K-9s that are used to
locate and/or apprehend
suspects
K-9 will work with nose to
the ground
Work on lead
Often work without a scent
article
Utilize the “hottest” trail
from the point last seen
Situations for Using Tracking K-9s
Utilize tracking K-9s in
wilderness, rural,
suburban, and urban
sites with a verified PLS
before the scene
becomes contaminated
by other human scent
since there is no scent
article.
Trailing Overview
Capable of locating
scent days after a
person has passed
through an area
Possibility after a
number of days the
scent is still there
Work on lead
Need a scent article
from the victim
Situations for Using Trailing K-9s
Trailing K-9s can be
used in wilderness,
rural, suburban, urban
and building searches
Initially K-9 can be
used at the verified
LKP to determine a
direction of travel
As search operations
expand, trailing dog
teams can be used at
trail or road
intersections, updated
PLS, and search area
perimeters
Identifying K-9 SAR Resources for Use in
Your Area
Legitimate teams should be able to provide you with
the following information:
Certifications from external agencies
Current background checks from BCI&I and/or FBI
Proof of insurance or be willing to sign a waiver of liability
Training logs for each handler and dog
