The collar is then brought up as far as possible on the dog’s throat. First is the two-handed approach in which the handler, once determining it is safe, grabs the fur saver collar at six and three o’clock. It’s performed by one of two usual methods. The tactical release is a mechanical release from an engagement with a suspect that causes the police service dog to gag or release in anticipation of gagging. Let’s explain what the tactical release really is and when its application best fits as a safety option during a deployment and subsequent capture of a potentially violent suspect.
Yet, this technique is safe for the dog, handler, arrest team and the suspect. To the uninformed it may appear that the dog is being choked from a bite or that the handler has no control of his or her police service dog and has to physically remove the dog from an engagement with a suspect or decoy. It affords a simple, reliable and safe means of removing the police service dog from a physical apprehension of a suspect. It enhances safety for the handler, back up officers, and the suspect when applied at an appropriate time and situation.
In contrast to lifting off of a bite suit (or “taking the dog off strong,” as it is often called in training) or choking the dog off, which are training practices, the tactical release is a very specific tool in the K-9 handlers toolbox. The “tactical release” is a technique used the application of a police service dog to control a suspect.
