Thank you to Corn belt kennel club and Kay Richardson for your continued support of our k9 operations team!The K9 Operations Team would like to thank Corn Belt Kennel Club (CBKC) and Kay Richardson for their on-going support of our team through their generous donations each year. The donations from CBKC play a critical role in allowing our team to attend professional training seminars and to also maintain important equipment that is vital to our training and deployment. For example, in March, 2020 the K9 Operations Team hosted a Forensics/Trace Evidence Detection Seminar, brining in top instructors from the Center for Forensic Training and Education, to instruct. We had a total of 9 handler teams from around the state in attendance, increasing our professional relationships with other top-notch teams in Illinois. These seminars provide invaluable learning and experiences for both our handlers and our K9s, but are often out of our reach financially. To see some photos from our seminar, check out our photo album. We want to thank CBKC and Kay Richardson for their ongoing support of our team and the work that we do. Thank you Corn Belt Kennel Club and Kay!
