Why Use K9s?

K9s serve in a variety of specialized roles, each one trained to perform specific tasks that help protect and serve the public.

Why K9s?
Superior Scent Detection
A K9’s sense of smell is anywhere between 10,000 to 100,000 times more sensitive than that of a human. This makes them ideal for detecting narcotics, explosives, firearms, and even human remains in complex environments. Whether it’s locating illegal drugs hidden in a car or sniffing out explosives in a crowded event, K9s offer an unmatched ability to find what humans can’t.
Why K9s?
Deterrence Factor
The mere presence of a K9 unit can deter criminal behavior. Criminals know the reputation of K9s in their ability to track and catch suspects, which can often prevent crimes before they even happen.
Why K9s?
Loyalty and Dependability
One of the most remarkable characteristics of K9s is their loyalty. They are trained to protect their handler and will not hesitate to risk their lives in the line of duty. This level of dedication is essential in dangerous situations where the safety of officers is paramount.
Why K9s?
Speed and Agility
When pursuing a suspect on foot, K9s can outrun most people and can navigate terrain that may be difficult for officers. Their agility in quickly maneuvering through obstacles, climbing, and even swimming makes them crucial for suspect apprehension in high-stress situations.
