    Thames Valley Police Berkshire , United Kingdom

    Detection dogs are becoming one of the most powerful tools in the global fight against wildlife crime—and they are quite literally on the frontlines.

Drawing from real-world field operations across Africa and beyond, Mike shares how highly trained K9 teams are deployed to detect ivory, rhino horn, illegal firearms, snares, and other wildlife-crime indicators in complex, high-risk environments.
