The amount of training and work done with between the handlers and dogs leads to a relationship stronger than that of the average pet and pet-owner
THUNDER BAY - The K-9 unit is an important part of the Ontario Provincial Police and the dogs and handlers need to be constantly on top of their training to ensure that both of the dogs and their handlers can do their jobs properly.
“We have 31 handlers and everybody starts out with a general service dog which is the bread-and-butter that's the typical police dog that you see on TV. GSD means general service dog, they're trained to do a number of different things.” “That could be a criminal that commits a crime and flees the scene on foot or could be that of a missing person. They're also trained to find evidence in relation to a crime so they have the ability to detect evidence that the bad guy would have handled and discarded along the track so they can be able to find that to help corroborate the case towards that person,” said Deruiter.
Police dogs have very important jobs and on top of frequent training camps their handlers need to be training with them often to keep them at the top of their game.
