FRIDAY JUNE 2 K-9 UNIT !!

I had the most coolest experience! I got to meet the k-9 unit and take part in a demonstration. It was incredible. I got to ask her questions and she was really impressed at our interest. I asked about how long the dogs are working for and that is about 5-7 years, I also asked if they could get another dog. Halton has a one dog policy , just due to the fact that other officers are entitled to a turn. It is just a shame becuase they have all this experience and after this they must go back on the roads. I was thrilled I got to ask Tori( the dog handler and police officer) these questions. She is so great and such a sweet person. I also got to take part in a demonstration. They placed me on the roof of one of the buildings and Baron ( the dog ) found m. I was in shock . These dogs are incredible !! Well not every day are you on a roof for co op !!

P.S Did you know that halton does not have drug dogs ! Police Dogs are only used for tracking , so this would be to search for missing persons, criminals and abandoned vehicles.
