His partner, Knick, is a Bloodhound. Knick is popular with the people because this is one of the K-9 Unit’s dogs that you can actually touch. Unlike the Patrol Dogs and Narcotics Dogs, Knick is trained to socialize along with his tracking abilities. His specialties are sniffing out the bank robbers from dropped phones, articles of clothing and anything else that he can track the robber’s scent. He also finds missing people and evidence to be used in court. Officer Jackson travels internationally to train other Handlers as far as Switzerland and helps to train other Bloodhounds nationwide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55d887b1e4b0151a08dad0a0/1446053054224-FHAYEAMMOQH90HICQ3XV/ageephantom.jpg K-9 Unit Gallery - Officer Monty Agee and K-9 Partner Phantom After losing his beloved K-9 Partner, Koda, Officer Agee was blessed with a second exceptional K-9,Phantom.

Before Agee became a K-9 Officer, he worked patrol in the 1st Precinct and worked in the Bike Unit. After that he was assigned to the Uniformed drug unit before being transferred to K-9.
