K9s Are Select Dogs with Specialized Training
K9 Officers trains carefully selected dogs, primarily from breeders of German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois with whom we’ve established relationships.
These dog breeds are particularly suited for police work due to their:
-
Size
-
Strength
-
Speed
-
Analytical Skills
-
Fearlessness
-
Loyalty
German Shepherds
German Shepherds are amazingly analytical.
Imagine a scenario in which a perpetrator escapes through a 3rd-story window. A German Shepherd will peer out the window to assess the distance to the ground, find a safe route downstairs, pick up the scent immediately, and apprehend the suspect.
Belgian Malinois
Belgian Malinois are fiercely fearless.
Imagine the same scenario in which a perpetrator escapes through a 3rd story window. A Belgian Malinois will peer out the window to assess the distance to the ground … and jump, apprehending the suspect immediately.
Rescue Dogs
Occasionally, a rescue dog in foster care will exhibit all the characteristics necessary to become an effective K9 officer. K9 Officers has trained and placed 2 rescue dogs: golden retrievers named Dally and Razor.
Help support K9 Officers as they travel the globe to choose the best dogs for law enforcement service.
K9 Success
Our K9s Are Directly Responsible for Helping Seize Over $50 Million in Illegal Drugs
K9s get meth, heroin, and cocaine off the streets of your community.
They also apprehend drug dealers and confiscate cash, handguns, and rifles directly from the hands of criminals, making your community safer for everyone.
About Our K9s
A K9’s nose is at least 10,000 times better than a human’s, making it excellent at detecting drugs, firearms, explosives, bombs, and electronic devices.
A K9 can smell a teaspoon of sugar in a million gallons of water!
K9s can search an area four times faster than any human.
Dogs have been used since World War I to detect explosives like land mines.
Most K9s begin training at 12-18 months of age. They typically start working at 18-24 months and serve in their departments for 6-8 years.
K9s are trained using rewards including treats and playtime with their handler, NOT by getting dogs hooked on drugs.
K9s continue training and certification to stay in the best physical and mental condition while serving with a law enforcement agency.
When not on active duty, K9s typically live with their handler, the police officer the dog works with.
You should always ask a human officer before you pet a police dog.
