Presenter: Sergeant Brad Borowy of the Independence Police Department.

Topic: K-9 Unit

The City of Independence Police Department has a K9 unit which has specific tasks. These tasks are related to search and rescue, seizure, and other various duties assigned by the department. The relationship between a police dog and his or her handler requires a closeness and ability to communicate and work together well as a team. A judicious obedience to hand-signals, voice commands, and pre-meditated training procedures is required from the dog.  Patrolmen Jim Green and his German Shepherd K-9 Paddo will demonstrate these skills to our safety council members at this meeting.
