Internationally recognized dog handlers Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak define what it means to commit K9 fraud and provide tips on how to avoid it. While some instances of fraud are deliberately planned, many more are unintentional and result from a lack of training or confusion about what police dogs can and cannot do. To illustrate the various ways K9 fraud can derail investigations, the authors examine a number of case studies from around the world, including the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States and the Scott Peterson case. Gerritsen and Haak also share ways to minimize the instances of K9 fraud by emphasizing proper training methods, a rigorous scientific understanding of dogs, and a strong bond between handler and dog.
