    Sergeant Drew Christian and ESD K9 Training

    This episode my guest is Sergeant Drew Christian, Special Federal Deputy Marshal, United States Secret Service Task Force, Digital Forensic Examiner/Electronic Storage Detection, K9 Handler, Boone County Sheriff's Electronic Crimes Unit. He is the handler of K9 Mozart. Mo, as he is called, is an Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) K9 trained to sniff out electronic devices. He has been assigned to the Boone County Sheriff's Office and is capable of detecting chemical compounds used in devices like cell phones and hard drives. Mo’s unique training allows him to locate hidden devices, making him a valuable asset in investigations related to child exploitation and other electronic crimes. He is one of only four Labradors with this specialized training in Kentucky, and his handler, Sergeant Drew Christian, has been instrumental in analyzing electronic components in various investigations. I know you will find it as informative and interesting as I did.
