The Canine Detail is a varied position that is advantageous in assisting with several areas of law enforcement. One area is to make the Patrol/Campus Officer's job safer. This means if a suspect actively attempts to evade arrest by hiding or concealing him/herself, poses a threat to the public in general and/or has caused harm to someone, the canine can be utilized as a locating tool or to apprehend the suspect. The canine is also a valuable tool in locating and removing contraband from our campuses, thus keeping it away from our students.
