K-9 units
The K-9 Units are an integral part of police response. The Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit includes 8 handler and K-9 teams. There are no cross trained teams. In addition to performing drug searches, they also can provide backup to deputies, locate suspects and victims, and find evidence at or near crime scenes.
Generalist police dogs
Generalist police dog handlers and their partners attend a 12-week (480-hour) training course. During the course, the dog and handler learn to work together through basic obedience and agility. The dog is taught to locate and track human scent, search areas and buildings for suspects, evidence, and how to protect their handler. The handler learns to read and interpret the dog's body language and the noises the dog makes when it has located something and is on a track.
