No fingerprints. No witnesses. No obvious trail. And yet…the dog knows.
When cases hit a dead end, law enforcement turns to a partner who doesn’t rely on what’s visible - but on what’s left behind. From the scent of a fleeing fugitive to the trace evidence of narcotics, firearms, and human remains, K9s are trained to detect what criminals think they’ve gotten away with.
In this high-intensity session, K9 Founder Kristi Hoss Schiller, CEO J.P. Davis, Sgt. Chris Moore and Officer Jaime Garcia – along with their canine companions, Liza & Trex – invite you to step inside real investigations, where a single command - and a single alert - changed the outcome of a case. Hear firsthand from handlers who have chased the unknown, trusted their instincts, and relied on their K9 partners in moments where hesitation wasn’t an option.
This session pulls back the curtain on how these extraordinary teams work - and why, when everything is on the line, officers don’t guess. They trust the dog.
