Canine Unit The Canine Unit is staffed by police officers who handle 11 canines. The canines are available on a 24-hour basis to assist with searching for evidence, tracking suspects, locating missing persons and seeking hidden explosives and narcotics.
The Canine Unit selected the German Shepherd as the unit’s preferred dog because of its eagerness, fearlessness and self control. German Shepherds also possess various mental and physical attributes that makes them a perfect partner in the department’s fight against crime. The canines and their handlers spend countless hours working together and training in order to become efficient partners. The canines and their handlers also receive ongoing training after they have become “partners” in order to provide the best possible service to the department. Canines play an important role in both solving and preventing crimes. Canine Unit
