Tactical Tracker Teams, Paperback/Jeff Schettler
Descriere
Description Jeff Schettler's newest book "K9 Trailing: Tactical Tracking Teams" is about teamwork and it should be required reading for any K9 handler - regardless of experience - who tracks fugitives with a police dog in a rural environment or wilderness area because doing so is arguably the most dangerous job in law enforcement today and a tracking team must be prepared to safely face the challenges to be successful with the mission. A handler and police dog tracking alone or separated from a tactical support team during a high risk manhunt is a liability and no longer acceptable and "Tactical Tracking Teams" provides invaluable and practical recommendations and guidelines to minimize risk and prepare a team for a deployment. The emphasis on teamwork and the chapter on "proximity alerts" - along with the practical application realistic training recommendations - may literally save the lives of handlers or team members during searches. You may not be able to attend a training course on tactical tracking team operations with Jeff Schettler in the near future - but you can take advantage of his experience and lessons learned by reading "Tactical Tracking Teams" today. -Sergeant Bill Lewis II (Retired) About the Author Jeff Schettler is a retired police K9 handler who worked for the City of Alameda and County of Amador in California and was attached to the FBI's Hostage Rescue Teams' K9 Assistance Program for two years.
