The Scottsdale Police Departments K-9 Unit was formed in 1987 and currently has six police service dog teams.  Each K-9 team consists of a sworn veteran officer and a certified dual-purpose police service dog.

The K-9 teams were created to assist police personnel to search for hidden suspects, locate articles or evidence of a crime, protect officers and the public from serious injury or death, assist in the arrest and apprehension of felons, and detect the presence of narcotics and/or explosives.

The dog breed of choice for the SPD K-9 Unit is the Belgian Malinois. The Malinois is known for its intense drive and physical endurance, making it an outstanding breed for police work.

 

A Police Dog has a strong sense of smell, up to 1 million times stronger than ours.
