Sangin Instruments Marlin
A narcotics K9 officer at a small department in Florida, with a Sangin Instruments Marlin. The watch came out of a limited run of 1800, and the number on his happens to match the number on his cruiser. That cruiser is the first one he was assigned as a K9 officer, and the watch is the first one he bought as a K9 officer. He calls it a very cool connection.

Sangin Instruments Marlin
The watch
Sangin Instruments was founded by a retired Marine Raider and named for Sangin, in Afghanistan's Helmand province, where his team served. The brand builds for a narrow audience on purpose, and the catalog is gated to prove it. Several editions can only be bought after the customer verifies service, with specific configurations set aside for the airborne community, for people who have completed a special operations selection course, for first responders, and for law enforcement.
The job
He describes himself as a narcotics K9 officer at a small department in Florida. A detection dog is trained to recognize a fixed set of target odors and to give a trained final response when it finds one, and the handler certification behind that is a recurring requirement, not a one time course. The assignment is a job attached to another job. The dog is assigned to a single officer, generally lives with that officer, and the cruiser gets built out around the animal, kennel insert in the back, heat alarm, remote door release.
