GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- It’s a unique world in the broader landscape of law enforcement, one with its own challenges, rewards, and even language: a career as a K-9 officer.
In a three-part series we’re calling ‘Paws Before Boots,’ the Grand Rapids Police Department invited us to go behind the scenes with K-9 teams for an in-depth look at the dogs’ training procedures, their work in the field, and ultimately, their retirement.
Watch the above video for Part 2 of the series, in which we join Sergeant Darren Geraghty and his partner, K-9 Izzie, as they go out into the field. Click here for part 1, Training as a K-9 officer.
