Did a ride along with a deputy and their K9. The baseline of their job is Stress at the start of the shift and varies throughout the day, but never non-stressed. They all must have ulcers. The dep I rode with has been doing this for 17 years.
It all gets real from the drop. Had to sign off on a document relinquishing all liability of the county if I was injured or died.
Then the dep ran down the list of If something happens to me…
-This is the radio.
-This is where I keep my Narcan.
-This is where my tourniquet is.
-This is how to get my taser and pistol off my belt.
-Here is how to release the shotgun.
Nothing is going to happen, if it does, you are prepared.
The dog’s tracking ability of people was good. Ability to find drugs was off the charts.
