About The Book

Blueprints is the definitive guide for Police K9 supervisors who want to know how to build a successful K9 program.

This isn’t just another book about the hows and whys of working dog training - instead, Blueprints is a comprehensive framework that outlines how to build a K9 program that is effective, sustainable, and withstands the numerous challenges facing law enforcement in the modern age.

Creating a successful K9 team doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intention and purpose at every stage to build processes that improve operational performance, year after year. In this book, you’ll learn lessons on strategic planning, leadership, budgeting, documentation and certification, legal preparation, vendor selection, performance measurement, and more.

Rather than focusing on only one discipline of K9 training and deployment, Blueprints gives you everything you’ll need to create a culture and system of success for your K9 program. This book doesn’t just provide you with one piece of the puzzle; this is the entire jigsaw, laid out for you with clear instructions on how to build a successful team.

This book is a must-read for Police K9 Supervisors, Chiefs of Police, K9 unit commanders, military working dog leaders, and anyone with an interest in improving the capabilities of their K9 team.

Written by Jason Purgason - an expert in building working dog programs, who has trained police and military units across the globe over the past thirty years - Blueprints is the manual you need to build a better Police K9 program.
