K-9 Unit

The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit was established in 1980. The mission of the K-9 Unit is to locate suspects and/or evidence at or near crime scenes and to provide protection and/or backup of the line officers when possible and practical. We also participate in public education and demonstrations. Call or come see us at the Kitsap County Fair. The Unit consists of two tracking/protection dogs and one narcotics detection dog. A call out schedule provides for 24-hour a day response capabilities. The K-9 handlers and their partners undergo an exhaustive training regimen upon entrance to the program, and continue to train on a weekly basis to maintain a high level of proficiency.
