K-9 Team

K9 Officers

 

The Department of Public Safety canine unit consists of two police officers and their canine partners. The officers and canines assist in the detection and location of dangerous items and persons on school district property. The canine unit closely supports school administration in providing a safe and secure learning environment free from drugs and other dangerous activity by conducting random sweeps of district properties. The canine unit also conducts demonstrations for school presentations and assemblies as well as outreach to community groups interested in learning more about the capabilities of our two canines.  To request a demonstration or for more information please contact [email protected] or [email protected].  The BSSD canine teams conduct ongoing training to hone their skills with other canine professionals and are certified annually through a national certification association.
