AiG Impacts Law Enforcement with K9 Conference

At the Ark Encounter earlier this week, our Department of Public Safety hosted its third annual K9 Conference. A total of 47 K9 teams from across the United States, along with 2 international teams, participated in this four-day event. Throughout the conference, the K9s and their handlers engaged in over 30 scenarios set in various locations around the Ark Encounter property.

Enjoy some photos from this event.

This conference helps K9 handlers from law enforcement and private sectors enhance their training, handling, and performance. Master trainers from across the country share their expertise to improve the teams’ skills during the event.

The conference included lectures and activities relating to:

• The use of K9s
• K9 first aid
• Imprinting on various odors (including explosives and narcotics)
• Scenario-based odor detection training
• Box work
• Individual and team challenges
• And more!

This conference continues to grow every year as the word gets out in the K9 handler community. Not only will this kind of training help save lives, but the officers who participated were able to hear the gospel and the message of the truth of God’s Word. Praise the Lord!

We praise the Lord for the great relationship we have with law enforcement groups in the USA and around the world. And we praise him for the vision of our own Department of Public Safety to run such events.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
