The K-9 Division
What is the k-9 division about?
As a k-9 officer ( or a dog handler )
you are supporting the patrol division.
A police dog is a great addition to the force,
they are able to smell drugs, weapons and explosives.
Some dogs of the Chicago police department are also
trained in searching humans ( missing persons )
So is it all about support? No.
The k-9 divisions are running call outs themselves as well
They have the option to break and roll ( drop the call and drive to the place where they are requested.
What calls can the K-9 officer respond to?
Domestic disturbance
Fight in progress ( F.I.P )
Assault
Person with a knife
Manual backup request of a patrol officers / EMS
Missing person
Confirmed warrant
And much more,
as you can read, the k-9 officers aren't sitting still.
They have a huge impact on the community as they provide
a safety field in the area they are located.
Usually per shift there are 3 k-9 handlers active.
