Canine Unit

A Canine Unit is a specialized division within law enforcement or security agencies that uses trained dogs to assist with various tasks. These dogs, often called K-9s, are trained for purposes such as tracking suspects or missing persons, detecting drugs, explosives, or other contraband, and crowd control. The handlers work closely with these dogs, leveraging their keen senses of smell and agility to support law enforcement activities more effectively. The use of canine units enhances safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in maintaining public safety and conducting investigations.
