Tracy Bowling- Tactical Tracking. One of the most dangerous tasks law enforcement agencies are called upon to perform is the apprehension of armed and fleeing fugitives in rural environments. Often these fugitives have killed police officers or others and will kill again upon contact. Immediate daytime or nighttime deployments are often needed to prevent the escape or additional harm to others. Each year across the US, law enforcement officers are killed in these dangerous deployments. Often a K9 tracking team with one or more cover officers are deployed and without specialized training the K9 handler and cover officers are highly at risk in the pursuit of the fugitive who often has the advantage of concealment and surprise.

This course is designed to introduce tactical skills that enable a tracking team to conduct this high risk deployment successfully with emphasis on officer safety. The course is recommended for K9 teams, SWAT teams, or other specialized operations units and provides the training necessary to create a Tactical Tracking Team within any department.
