The Mystery of the Missing Detection Dog
Ambrose the detection dog has an excellent nose - he is highly trained to detect the flows of odor coming from illicit cargoes coming in at the local freight port. He works for the city of Montrose police department with his handler, Officer Gregory. Yesterday, Officer Gregory reported that he went missing, and we suppose you pros can expose the dognapper!
Your Mission:
You and your teammate have been hired by the Montrose special ops police department in a covert mission. You'll complete your report on the dognapping of Ambrose, using clues in your investigation to support your conclusions on the identity of the dognapper, their motive, how the dognapping occurred, and Ambrose’s location. You and your teammate will work independently in “Operation Tailwind”, and “Operation Pawprint” and will need to confer to discuss your findings.
