Episode 15 | A Man of Many Hats - Kevin Baughn, GAK9 Trainer and Retired K9 Handler

July 07, 2022 • Jeff Schettler • Season 2 • Episode 15

Welcome to Season 2 of Manhunter Radio!

How many experiences can an officer gain across a solid 27-year career? Turns out for Kevin Baughn, quite a lot.

In his time as a sworn officer, he worked his way through a bit of everything, having worked patrol, to SWAT, to licensed Pilot, and Flight Officer. Kevin has held almost every discipline, with a love for K9s and his experience in being a handler as one of his most significant interests.

Now retired, Kevin is establishing a premier K9 training venue in Idaho to service GAK9 clients from across the west coast and abroad. In this episode, Jeff and Kevin dive into their shared love for bloodhounds, dispel myths, and retrace a track involving Kevin's hunt for a cop killer.
