The Dallas Police Department has four new police K9s thanks to a non-profit group that works to build stronger relations between police and the public.
The department said the dogs will play an important role in keeping neighborhoods safer.
DPD leaders said they are a critical part of the force because, with their amazing senses, they are able to do things humans simply can't.Sgt. Kent Wolverton oversees the Dallas Police K9 Unit. "He's already been able to locate several grams of cocaine," he said. "One seizure, over $2,000 in cash, crack, PCP. He’s working really well."
"Working third watch, you don't find people on their best days. They don't call because they baked too many cookies," Wolverton said. "Because of that, my view of Dallas started to get jaded. I thought everyone hated the police department.""We love dogs so much, we have four now," Sterling O'Donnell said. "This was just a good way to help out the police department and keep drugs off the street.
In addition to detecting drugs, Castro said the K9s are able to find a lost child and apprehend the city's most violent felons.
