The Pelham Police Department takes great pride in its K-9 Unit because of the proficiency and ability of the animals working in partnership with their handlers. The canine sense of smell is over 400,000 times greater than a human's. For this reason, the K-9 Unit has become a valuable asset to the Pelham Police Department and the community we serve.
K-9 Teams
Our department has four K-9 teams comprised of a police officer and his canine partner. Two are specialized in detecting explosives, and two are trained to detect narcotics.
