Training Information SCEM K-9 Team meets approximately 8-10 times per month for various training sessions. These include, but are not limited to, K9 Obedience and Search Training, Officer Meetings, Handler Training, Special Events, and Demonstrations. Members are required to meet a minimum of 50% attendance to all of these events monthly. We train with other agencies in the area whenever possible and any requests for training opportunities are welcome! See the photos below of some of our most recent training. SCEM K9 is looking for area residents and business persons who are willing to allow our Teams to train on their properties. It is extremely important that the dogs receive varied training locations to remain proficient at their specialties. We graciously look to our community for support. If you have property (land or buildings) that you would be willing to share periodically, please contact the WebMaster for more information. The more unusual the site, the better! Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far!
SCEMK9 and members of the Sedgwick County Emergency Management Fire Reserves , and RACES teams join together during the weekend of October 9-12th, 2003 for some fun (and high angle rescue training)!

The class was taught by SCEMK9 Chief and Hutchinson Community College High Angle Rescue Instructor Chad Winton. Members of the K9 Team and Fire Reserves who participated in previous classes assisted throughout the weekend. The 24-hour long course was offered for college credit and Continuing Education hours with the State Board of EMS. 12 students attended. The class consisted of a review of ropes, knots, equipment, hardware, raising and lowering systems, mechanical advantages, team building skills, and safety practices, among others. The K-9's also attended on the 12th and were acclimated to being raised and lowered in specialized harnesses nearly 15 feet in the air. As they become more comfortable, they will be raised higher and learn to be lowered from a height as well. Members of this class and the previous Basic Class plan on taking advantage of the Advanced High Angle Rescue Class in Spring of 2004 and assisting at other Basic classes for the remainder of our team. Enjoy the photos. We wish we could post them all, but space is not available! :( Thanks to Roger Bailey from RACES for providing the photos!
