Service Dogs
The Logan City Police Department has two Belgian Malinois trained as “Police Service” dogs, Tino and Bas (pronounced Boss). The use of the K-9’s minimizes the danger to the officers while performing tasks, searching buildings for burglar suspects, and apprehending fleeing suspects. Both K-9’s are trained for narcotics detection and have the ability to track a reported lost person as well. In addition to sniffing out suspects, the dogs are capable of detecting several types of illegal drugs that would otherwise be impossible to find.
- Police service dogs are bred specifically for duty use by a professional trainer at a professional facility. Service dogs cost about $15,000 to $20,000 per dog plus handler training.
- K-9 certification requires 6 weeks of intense training with the dogs.
Both Tino and Bas provide an invaluable service not only to their human counterparts but also to the community at large.
