K-9 Patrol Car

K-9 Squad Car

The patrol car used by the K-9 Unit is standard police car modified for transporting our dogs. Most noticeably, it has a platform in the rear seat specifically designed for the dog, and electric doors that may be opened remotely by the handler. The handler often has to leave his dog in the car while attending to other business and will leave the car running with the air conditioner or heater on. The car will activate the lights and siren if the temperature gets too hot inside the car.
