		K-9 The K-9 unit operates within the Patrol Division to provide important services to the entire department and to other law enforcement agencies. Typically the police K-9’s are utilized to assist in searching for missing persons, victims, and violent individuals. They aid in locating and apprehending individuals fleeing from the police, and the detection of hidden controlled substances including marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin. While on duty, the police canines are focused on their work. While off duty, the canines live at the homes of their partner/handlers and enjoy being a family pet. Continuous training is mandatory for the K-9 Teams and all expenses for the maintenance of the dogs is the responsibility of the Police Department. The K-9 handlers and their ever-faithful partners often do extra work visiting schools in San Pablo to offer first hand insight to their effectiveness and discipline. Currently, we have four K-9 Teams consisting of Officer Sandi White and her partner Ivan, Officer Mark Galios and his partner Elgos, Officer Robert Richer and his partner Tango and Officer Alex Caine and his partner Argos.
