K-9 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)K-9 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
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.

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 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) – WaterOverview
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 covering many acres in a given time period, therefore, saving time and energy
Can be utilized during the day and night
Can work in conjunction 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 inwilderness, rural, suburban, and urbansites 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 leadNeed 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
