Personnel > K-9 Unit
In early part of 2009, Dakota Ojibway Police Service entered into a partnership with the Province. Urban Search and Rescue Unit operating out of the Office of the Fire Commissioner. Dakota Ojibway Police Service would supply a Member to work with the USAR team as a K9 Handler and the USAR team would supply the dog, cover any related expenses, such as training, etc.
The primary function is search and rescue. The USAR-K9 Coordinator realized our unique situation and was able to locate a fully trained Police Dog “MASON”. Mason is trained in most police service dog functions and to utilize him in various capacities to help keep our communities safe.
