Annual Certification
This extremely well-trained team reinforces their formal training through annual certification from the National Police Narcotics Association. They also conduct in-service training, with an average of 36 hours per month. In addition to individual training, the SLPD K9 units join with other K9 teams in the Yuma County area for training. The dedication of the officers in this unit and their K9 partners is the reason for the success of this program. All the K9 teams perform extremely well and are an integral part of the drug interdiction efforts of the SLPD.
