K9 Chase and K9 Max attended the the first class of certified Crisis Response Therapy Canines with their handlers last week. Congratulations to all the graduates!

We’re officially on the map!

From the Metro East up to Chicagoland, the very first class of certified Crisis Response Therapy Canines has officially deployed across Illinois.

11 certified therapy canine teams from seven different agencies with one standard of excellence.

These teams are now back in their home jurisdictions, fully equipped with the specialized training needed to support de-escalation, trauma-informed response, and community outreach.

Is your department ready to add a paw print to the map for Class #2?
