Four new dogs trained in detecting explosives and firearms are now on duty with the K-9 Unit of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
K-9s Archer, Bear, Dexter and Nalla are exclusively trained in detecting explosives and firearms. They are a regional resource which means they can answer calls from other law enforcement agencies to keep San Diego County safe.
The Explosives Detection K-9s completed a ten-week academy and undergo testing and routine training to ensure their skills remain sharp.
