K-9 and drug detection dogs

K-9 training with OfficerThe Palm Bay Police Department’s Canine Unit is among the best and most highly trained in the State of Florida.

The K-9 Teams assigned to the Uniform Services Division are cross-trained for Patrol (handler protection, building search, area search, tracking, and evidence search).  All teams are certified through FDLE as Patrol dogs, which is a minimum standard. Teams also have advanced certifications through North American Police Work Dog for drug detection and Patrol when training funds are available.

The dogs and their handlers must train hundreds of hours to become

re-certified to work in the public arena.
