U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Enforcement Specialist 1st Class Danny Ibarra teams up with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Aviators in preparation for his K9 Vertical Insertion exercise at Coast Guard Base Los Angeles-Long Beach, May 3, 2023. This specialized training, which involves being lowered from the helicopter to the boat and then hoisted back up, ensures both K9 Handlers and their canine partners are prepared to rapidly respond to threats, hone their skills, and obtain the best search behavior from the canines during insertion operations.
