K-9 UNIT

The Canine Unit (K-9) is made up of highly-trained dogs that are used to assist units on patrol when needed. Some of these dogs are used to track suspects and missing persons. Others may be used to indicate the presence of narcotics, firearms, explosives or human remains. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Canine Unit also will lend help to other agencies and departments when there is a need and upon request by the agency or department.
