Drew Richardson
Drew is one of the co-founders of K9 Engagement LLC. Currently entering his 6th year of policing, he is working a Shepherd/Malinois mix, dual purpose dog. Long before becoming a member of the K9 unit, Drew found one of his favorite hobbies, decoy work. After attending multiple decoy courses under different instructors, decoying has turned into a passion. Along with Jason, Drew is one of a select few to whom handlers trust to work their dogs. He has caught multiple dogs from different agencies for annual certifications, training schools, as well as dynamic/tactical scenarios. Recognizing this demanding and evolving field field of work, Drew continues to push his knowledge and skill through progressive and challenging training. This is a trait that he hopes to pass on to others who have a desire to improve their own decoying abilities.
