Get on the ground. >> On February 7th, 2025 in Deleó Springs, Florida, Valuchia County deputies initiate a traffic stop. The suspect, 39-year-old Randolph Brown, wanted for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Step out. >> Step out of the car. Step out of the car. >> Step out of the car now. >> Step out of the car. >> With a sudden jolt, Brown guns the engine. His car lurches forward, ramming into the deputy's vehicle. A muffled crunch and the chase begins. The calm is shattered. >> All right, I got you guys coming up behind the white van. Correct. Deputies deploy spike strips across the roadway. Brown's carines over them, tires shredding. He crashes into two innocent drivers, their horns blaring. Neck pain reported, but they remain conscious. >> Air1, we have the vehicle. You guys want to break off? >> We're breaking off. Rear drivers low down here in 30 seconds. >> All right, the silver one. Silver one. Get ready. >> Hang on. We got six. Ready one. Get ready. >> Get ready, buddy. This is you. Watch out. Watch out. >> All right. Okay. I don't want any units going the wrong way. I don't want 100 units behind this. Just keep the A9 and G units. Everybody else hang back. >> As the chase reaches to land, Brown smashes through a roadside construction zone. His vehicle flips partially, smoke billowing. The deputy's breathing quickens. Backup is close, but so is the threat. >> He's going through the construction. Lost control signal 4 right by the 7-Eleven. Signal 4. >> Brown calmly exits his wrecked car, then bolts. An officer releases K9 Red. The dog explodes from the cruiser. A second of silence, then a thunderclap as Red tackles Brown to the pavement. >> He's out. He's away from units. He's running towards the sun. He's at 44. >> Pocket. Pocket red. Pocket. Pocket red. Kill on the ground. Get on the ground. Do it now. Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Central dog. Got him. Dog bite. I'm taking control right now. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. >> After Brown is secured, deputies search the vehicle. A loaded handgun lies in plain sight. Nearby, a backpack spills pills and baggies. Evidence of drug trafficking and a deadly intent. In just over 3 minutes, this routine traffic stop turned into a high-risk pursuit, a deployment of force, and a major drug seizure. No officers seriously hurt. Two uninvolved motorists escaped with minor injuries. Brown now faces a mountain of charges from a fugitive ramming patrol cars to another driving from K9 Corporal Sullivan for over 6 minutes before being caught by K9 Adelmo. >> Sharers, get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. [ __ ] have hands out. Get your hands out. Get your hands out. At approximately midday on Saturday, June 19th, 2021 on the 1900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, deputies spot 33-year-old Gregory Lee Linder. His license suspended so many times it's now a felony to drive. Corporal Sullivan's body cam activates as he signals Linder to pull over. Sullivan approaches. Commands are issued. Instead of compliance, Linder floors it. The engine roars. K9 Corporal Sullivan jumps into pursuit in full K9 deployment mode. The chase lasts approximately 6 and a half minutes. Engines scream, sirens whale, adrenaline spikes with every second. Deputies execute a precise pit maneuver. Linder veers loses control, slams sideways into a ditch, but defiance continues. He's not done yet. Off. Get on. >> Linder abandons the car and bolts on foot. Corporal Sullivan takes off behind him, yelling, "K9 warnings." K9 Adelmo, watch it. But Linder keeps running. K9 Adelmo bursts through foliage, muscle, and precision. He tackles Linder to the dirt. A bark, a grunt, the final crack of resolve. Adelmo holds firm. >> Get on the ground. [ __ ] it. Sheriff's office stay. Let me see your hands. Let me see your hands. Let me see your hands. Hands out. Get your hands out. >> Get your hands out. >> Get your hands out. Get your hands out. Get your hands out. >> Roll over. >> Roll over. He ain't coming off your handcuff. Roll over. >> Roll over. Within seconds, Lieutenant McQuade steps in. Handcuffs are secured. Sullivan calls out. K9 Adelmo disengage. The violent struggle ends. Linder's shoulders stop thrashing. Medical personnel arrive. Linder is treated for bite wounds before being medically cleared and booked. No major injuries to officers or K9. But the risk was real. The stakes high. Charges include felony fleeing, habitual suspended license, and resisting. A harsh lesson taught by Adelmo and one Linder won't soon forget. Next, watch officers and K9 jacks intercept a stolen truck in Ocala. He hiding between fences until command and claw closed in. Just ping pull. >> On February 12th, 2023, the Marian County Sheriff's Office was alerted to a stolen 2018 white Toyota Tundra from a public storage facility in Ocala.

Atkins pushing the stolen truck hard. Howler and backup in hot pursuit, lights flashing. The camera shakes as deputies jockey to keep up. After several intense miles, the tundra disappears. Deputies pause briefly, but moments later, a tip places Atkins near the 15,000 block of Southeast 93rd Court, spotted by Lieutenant Donnie Medlin. The suspect abandons the truck and flees on foot. Corporal Calvin Bats and K9 Jacks move in. The tension mounts, every second critical. 28 Charlie Victor Victor 72 on a black edge. Can you have the other way? >> I'm right here. >> We're still west. We stopped at 179th Avenue. [Applause] Atkins darts into a nearby home and pleads with occupants to hide him. They refuse. No help here. Now he's back in the open. Atkins emerges, tries to flee again, only to get trapped between two fences. Corporal Bats closes in, releasing Jacks from the leash. >> Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's Office. Suddenly, K9 Jax launches, tackling Atkins to the ground. A sharp bark, a scuffle, and it's done. The suspect stops. >> Show me your hands. Show me your hands. >> Let me see your hand. Don't >> bite me, please. >> Let me see your hand. >> Don't bite my dog. Get off my dog. My dog behind your back. Jack pock. >> Stand still. Soon as we get you cuff, we'll get the dog off. Okay. >> Soon as we get you cuffed. >> The tension snaps. Deputies rush in. Handcuffs click onto Atkins. He rides, but resistance is nonviolent. K9 is pulled back. Eyes on the suspect. Atkins is escorted to medical for K9 by treatment. Charges include grand theft of a vehicle, burglary, fleeing officers, and more. Next up, when a robbery suspect surrendered with his hands in the air, most expected a standard arrest. What happened next shocked the public, changed department policy, and sparked federal review. Here. Here. Here. Here. Take him. Take him. Take him. Take him. Hey. Sir. >> K912. My partner's got him. We're right here on the right here by the library. >> Sir, please. Please. >> Lay on your stomach. >> I'm sorry. >> Don't [ __ ] with my dog. >> Don't move. On July 20th, 2018, South Seattle, officer Ryan Hudson and his K9 team locate a 16-year-old robbery suspect.

Just pain and chaos. >> Lay on your stomach. >> Don't [ __ ] with my dog. >> Don't move. Don't move. >> Don't move. >> Wait. Wait for it. Wait for it. >> Only when backup finally appears does the situation shift. The K9 is pulled off. The teen is left bleeding but alive. Following public release of this footage through a disclosure request. The Seattle Police Department faced widespread criticism. Though the action followed K9 training guidelines in 2018, Chief Carmen Best found it violated SPD's use of force policy and the core values of her department. Chief Best immediately launched a full internal review. SPD collaborated with the Office of Police Accountability, the Inspector General, and two independent K9 experts >> and Sam Clark. We have a positive ID. We have one in custody under good boy. Good boy. >> Happy one in custody. >> He's a good boy. You got that bad guy. >> The result, sweeping reforms to SPD's K9 policies, now approved by the Department of Justice and a federal court. To this day, the office of the inspector general continues auditing K9 operations in Seattle, ensuring that what happened here won't happen again. While the teen survived, the emotional and public damage cut deep. One command, take him, sparked a city-wide reckoning on how we train and use police canines. The final confrontation takes us to Seattle. Inside a home, a suspect hiding amid residents and K9 Jedi charging through blackberry bushes to bring him down. >> He's running. >> March 29th, 2019. A quiet evening in Seattle shatters when a 911 call reports a man violating a protection order inside the very house he was forbidden from entering. The man is known to police. He's run before. He's fought before and tonight he's about to run again. Officer Dri and K9 Jedi arrive on scene. I'm trying to figure out how to get up there from there. [Applause] Got a suspect description. [Applause] We have another unit for 101. [Applause] >> What's the color of the house? I'm walking up to the back from top. Can we get a live >> here? I believe we had the complaint on the line. >> No, we don't have the offsite number. >> They're offite. >> We don't have >> No time for formalities. The suspect has already bolted. The chase begins with urgency and precision. >> Ah, he's running. Take him. Take him. Take him. >> Dogs out. Dogs out. [Applause] >> We're northbound under the grass. >> The suspect crashes through a dense patch of blackberry bushes. Thorns tear at skin and uniform alike, but Jedi charges forward undaunted. Officer Dri barrels through the same thicket. The camera shaking violently with every branch snap. Jedi has found his target. The suspect thrashes under the grip of K9 Justice. [Applause] Run over. Okay. Put your hands behind your back. >> I'll fight you with one in the grass. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back. >> As soon as you put your [ __ ] hands behind your back. >> I can't. I'm your ass. I'm tearing. >> He's tearing. >> He's tearing my leg. >> Stop fighting. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. He's tearing. >> Stay where you are. >> Just tearing. >> Well, I'm just fine. Do what I [ __ ] tell you. Lay on your stomach. Okay. >> Officer Dri closes in, commanding compliance while controlling Jedi's bite. With backup arriving, Officer Dri holsters Jedi and moves in for handcuffs. The suspect is subdued, bloody, and breathless, but alive. This could have ended far worse. The man was arrested on the spot, charged with violating a protection order and resisting arrest. No officers injured. Jedi, relentless and loyal, did his job. And Officer Dri, he made it home that night. But it's a reminder every call could be your last.
