The ability of the police service dog (P.S.D.) makes them ideal partners in many areas. The ability of the dogs to follow human scent gives them the ability to follow and locate a suspect. The dogs can also locate evidence, which may be related to a crime. The dogs are used to search and clear buildings where alarms have been received and it is suspected someone has illegally entered. During training the teams (dogs and handlers) learn to become proficient in the areas of tracking, criminal apprehension, seraching, obedience, and agility. The primary role of the Canine Unit is to provide support to the Patrol Officers. The teams respond to any or all crimes in progress where the suspects are fleeing on foot or possibly hidden away. Presently, the Prince Albert Polcie Service has two handler/dog teams: Cst. Mushka and PSD Ray and Cst. Stender and PSD Titan.
