Reviews include examination of K-9 training standards, officer conduct, and incident context. We support legal teams by providing expert reports that analyze departmental use-of-force policies, assess liability risks, and document failures in canine deployment or control.

K-9 Deployment Case Reports
We examine police dog deployments that resulted in injuries to suspects or civilians. Our case reviews assess officer decisions, K-9 behavior, use-of-force justification, and policy adherence. We also evaluate the circumstances of deployment, command oversight, and handler responses. Our expert findings support legal claims by identifying errors in training, control, or threat assessment.
