At the conclusion of this extensive training program, participating departments will be able to employ a fully trained canine team as a compliment to their enforcement efforts. Prior to the start of class, twelve weeks of pre- training have been conducted with German Shepherd police dogs pre-selected by the highly regarded professionals at TOPS Kennels. Following initial training, police dogs and canine officers are brought together to ensure compatability and to complete the final eight weeks of the program as a team. Pre-selection of each canine provides the following advantages: - Confirmation that the dog is suitable for police duties - Decreased likelihood of long-range performance problems - More effective use of training time and expenses - Resolution of early compatability problems through replacement of the canine Canine teams must pass a variety of practical tests in the following areas: - Canine psychology - Obedience, agility, and article searching - Field area search and building tracking - 4th Amendment considerations and court testimony - Crowd control and handler protection - Pursuit and apprehension techniques - Drug detection, traffic stops, and gunfire - Footing obstacle course - Total distraction training All physical exams, shots, x-rays, and equipment are included in the tuition fee for the program. Three extensive notebooks and training logs are also provided. Agencies must provide appropriate transportation for their canines. Initial training and certification of narcotic detection canines is conducted in compliance with 50 ILCS 705/10.12. This training meets or exceeds the minimum certification requirements of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board as adopted from SWGDOG SC8. PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS PROGRAM MUST BE RECEIVED 12 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS IN ORDER FOR CANINE PRE-TRAINING TO BE COMPLETED.
