In the first episode of The Detectives Podcast mini-series K9 Roll Call, Dave and Steve are joined by Alex, a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney who also serves as the handler for Roger, a highly trained electronic device detection K9. Roger’s job is unlike any other, he searches for hidden electronic devices such as cell phones, SD cards, USB drives, hard drives, computers, and more often uncovering evidence that even detectives can miss.
Alex shares how Roger is trained, what he’s actually smelling for, and how his alerts help investigators find critical digital evidence. He also discusses his unique dual role as both a DPA and K9 handler, how he was chosen for the position, and the close bond he and Roger share.
Listeners will hear how Roger’s nose has helped locate lost students, recover devices after fatal crashes, and even crack criminal cases. To wrap things up, Dave and Steve put Roger’s skills to the test with a live training exercise in the studio.
