Believe it or not, must law enforcement KI-9's are trained and certified for a variety of things
Drugs, explosives, cadavers, patrol, etc.
Bomb dogs are very common. Most cops can call one up, but it may take some time for the dog to get there.
IIRC, there are only 2 good bomb dog schools in the country. Lackland AF base and Philly K9 Acadamy. Do you know if they're keeping up with demand?
I understand. Just thinking out loud again.
