After earning a B.Sc. in criminal justice at Auburn I was hired by the Department of Justice as a Deputy US Marshal. That's how I ended up in NY from Boston.<br /><br />I started and ran a violent crimes fugitive task force and had the opportunity to work with a variety of agencies in the process. Fantastic life experience, to say the least. So I like to think I know a thing or two when it comes to law enforcement and related issues.<br /><br />When we produced individuals in the WitSec program and/or had high threat moves we relied on the NYSP for bomb dogs, tactical support, etc. The marshal I served under was a retired NYSP inspector and tight with John Curry (http://www.troopers.ny.gov/Specialized_Services/Canine_Unit/) ... I bet the chief has similar connections.Ward Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077951464866486246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-83275765839909440012013-08-30T12:08:52.424-04:002013-08-30T12:08:52.424-04:00Seconded, WH.

Alternatively, that seems to indicate they're available to provide mutual aid if and when needed. I would think that, if a K-9 unit was a priority, one might look for a drug dog for narcotics interdiction at the Amtrak station.
