Service Dogs
The Logan City Police Department has three "Police Service" dogs. The use of the K-9s minimizes
the danger to the officers while performing tasks, searching buildings for burglar suspects, and
apprehending fleeing suspects. Two 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.
Police service dogs provide an invaluable service not only to their human counterparts but also to
the community at large.
For additional information, contact the Patrol Division at (435) 716-9451.
