Would you put a police cadet on the street without an FTO? Then why do it with a K9 team?

My article, “From the Training Ground to the Street,” published in Police K9 Magazine addresses a critical—and often overlooked—component of K9 deployment: acclimation and familiarization.
Without this process, foundations crack, performance suffers, and departments pay the price.
When done correctly, it saves agencies thousands of dollars, strengthens the team, and bridges the gap between controlled training and real-world operations.

This article walks the process A–Z and explains why skipping it is a costly mistake.

Well worth your time to read.
