Visit from Officer Tate and Jennings
Our students had the chance to see a presentation by Officer Tate and Canine Officer Jennings this week. Here is some of what they learned:
​Dog Safety- Officer Tate taught students about dog safety---never approach or run up to a strange dog. He also covered how to ask an owner to pet a dog as well as how to approach a dog before petting it.
Jenning's Training- Jennings was trained with Officer Tate in North Carolina. He spends several hours a day doing additional training using armor suits, drug scents, as well as human scents for search purposes.
Jenning's Job- Jenning's job is to do what Officer Tate tells him to do. His job is to protect Officer Tate, to detect drugs, find evidence that may be hidden, find criminals who may be hiding, or if needed as a search and rescue.
Drugs​- Many students asked about the types of drugs that Jennings can find. Officer Tate explained what drugs were, what kinds of drugs Jennings can find, why Jennings is trained to find them, and how Jennings is able to detect them.
