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
