Locust and on the duo completed new training Continued from page 1 of Copper and Patterson were put to the test on a number of scent trails includ- ing shopping malls, parking garages, and swampy and woodland areas. The team may have had only a car seat, empty soda can or chip bag, cigarette butt, or door handle as a scent source to work the trail. Being certified allows Copper9s work product to be admissible in court or other legal proceedings. Prior to his being fully cre- dentialed, Copper had his first start-to-finish <find= about three months back when he located a <walk away= 4 generally a per- son who disappears of their own volition, not wishing to be found, or somebody with diminished mental capacity as in a case of dementia. Copper9s job is limited to finding people, everyone from lost hikers to escapees, missing children to older cit- izens confused by their sur- roundings. One would think that with a bloodhound9s extraordinary sense of smell that they9d be the first line for illicit drug detection. Not so. There are five other K-9 teams in the DCSO, two of whom, different breeds, are dedicated to narcotic offenses. Dogs and handlers are highly specialized per- forming complex tasks. It is said that dogs have up to 75 times the sense of smell that humans do, which does beg the question of what it must be like when they encounter a skunk or rotting fish. Copper9s life began at Tamaron Ranch Bloodhound Kennels in Chowchilla, California. The all-tan-col- ored, purebred Copper is a donation to DCSO by Bob Cameron, a county resident who has a lengthy history of working with bloodhounds in the law-enforcement world. Cameron is himself a highly experienced trainer. Everybody asks 4 well everybody who has a dog 4 if Copper sleeps on Patterson9s bed. <Yes, and he takes up a lot of room,= Patterson says with an infectious grin. The Donny/Copper team work four 10-hour shifts, which is a lot of car time. 21 Patterson is just like all the Sisters deputies who cover a large territory through the gamut of policing duties. Patterson admitted that Copper hates the car, even though it is a full-size SUV with specialized venting. There is a built-in, high-tech cooling system in Copper9s pad with an alarm system to warn Patterson remotely if the temperature reaches a point of concern for Copper9s well-being. Copper9s favorite thing to do is search and rescue. He has participated in several 4 all successful. As a general rule, citizens are discouraged from interacting with work- ing K-9 dogs. However, in Copper9s case, the public is encouraged to engage him when they encounter him. But ask first, as he may be working a scent. Patterson frequently does foot patrol in town, both as part of good community policing practice and giving Copper a chance to stretch his legs.
