Training & Certification
Each K9 Team consists of a canine and its handler. Each team undergoes extensive training for their discipline at the NH Police K-9 Academy to become certified by the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA).
Properly trained K-9 teams can be used to search buildings and outside areas for people who may be lost or wanted by the police, search for evidence discarded by suspects, track a person's scent, search for narcotics / contraband and to apprehend fleeing suspects.
