This is a brief description of a couple of other disciplines K-9's can train for ...

Article / Evidence

Article searches help Law Enforcement to locate possible clues for a missing person search or criminal event.  The K-9's are trained with a specific command to locate articles handled by humans.  They can be either scent specific (a certain person's scent) or something handled by any human being.  Conditions may dictate how long an article is viable.

BUD - Basic Urban Disaster

As Minnesota doesn't experience many full-scale disasters, this discipline is considered an endorsement only and the K-9 team must already be mission-ready in another discipline prior to testing.  Handler and K-9 take extra training in safety for hazmat, rubble and fire conditions.  The K-9 works without any equipment, including a collar, to avoid being caught in debris.  The K-9's are required to give clear indications on live and deceased persons.
