K-9 Unit

K-9 Police carRecognizing the benefits and special capabilities of a trained police service dog, the division enlists the help of three K-9's. One is trained in tracking, obedience, protection, and the detection of narcotics and dangerous drugs. The second K-9 is trained like the first with the exception of narcotics detection. And the third is only trained in the detection of narcotics and dangerous drugs.

 

k9 at workGenerally, the K-9 officers have the same duties and responsibilities as any other officer; but, because of their K-9 partners, their capabilities are significantly enhanced. Additional duties include: conducting building intrusion searches, conducting on-leash searches for lost or missing persons, conducting suspect and/or evidence searches, conducting preventive burglary and robbery patrols, searching disaster scenes for victims or evidence. K9 officers and their partners will also visit schools, clubs, businesses, etc. to provide information and demonstrations about the K-9 unit.
