We don't shy away from the tough questions, such as the ethics of putting these loyal animals in harm's way and the heavy responsibilities that come with the badge. The valor of the unsung heroes of emergency response, the 9-1-1 dispatchers, gets its due spotlight, recognizing the profound impact of their unseen work on the front lines of crisis.This episode doesn't just stop at the action; we also peel back the layers of law enforcement response and the duty that binds officers in the most trying of times.
