All County K-9 provides professional-level search dog teams in the following areas of expertise:
ACK-9 utilizes Bloodhounds and other breeds as trailing dogs in both urban and rural settings. A trailing dog,
when provided a scent article belonging to the missing subject, can help discover that person’s direction of travel,
route of travel or lead to the person.
Area search dogs are used to cover large and small sections of land to either locate a subject or clear an area from
the investigations.
ACK-9 dogs can and have successfully indicate the location of drowning victims in Iowa lakes, rivers and ponds.
These teams can help to narrow the search area for divers, drag teams and other recovery units.
Dog teams can be used to locate human remains for victims of homicide, accident or natural events.
Dogs are trained to locate articles and evidence left behind, discarded or lost.
Search dog teams are an effective detection tools. They can provide information to most any investigation. They
provide this information by detecting a path that the subject has taken, finding the object or subject of the search or
by determining that the subject is not present. Dog teams are, however, only one tool in a search effort and ACK-9
teams are capable of working along side all other members of an investigation.
