POLICY
Documentation of Canine Section activity is necessary for the proper management of the section.
The Canine Section utilizes the web-based KATS K9 Activity Tracking System to organize the
information. Canine handlers submit a Weekly Canine Activity Report at the end of each week.
These Weekly Canine Activity Reports are maintained both by the canine handler and the Canine
Section Coordinator. At the end of the month, these reports are compiled in a Monthly Activity
Report. At the end of the calendar year, these monthly reports are compiled into a Yearly Canine
Activity Report. Another document used for the recording of training activity, is the Canine
Narcotic/Explosive Detection Training Record.
