What’s it really like to work alongside a police dog? On this episode of Squirrel Gurls, we sit down with Officer Fetzer from the Alameda, California Police Department K9 Unit to get an inside look at life as a K9 cop. From her path from law school to the K9 unit to the unique bond she shares with her partner, Ace, this episode dives into a world most of us only see from a distance.

Officer Fetzer shares gripping and entertaining stories from Ace’s training and work as a detection dog, specializing in sniffing out firearms and ammunition. She also explains the different types of dogs used in K9 units, how they are chosen for specific roles, and the rigorous training required to turn a dog into a skilled law enforcement partner. Listeners also get a peek into their home life, where Ace gets to relax and bond with his handler away from the streets.

Whether you’re a dog lover, curious about law enforcement, or just love a good story, this episode is full of insight, heart, and a few surprises along the way.
