The Lorain Police K9 Unit consists of four uniformed patrol K9 handlers assigned to the Patrol Division. K9s Don, JD, Fletch, and Echo are dual purpose K9s that provide support to patrol officers in the performance of their duties. They also assist other local departments during critical incidents that can benefit from their capabilities. Their responsibilities include deployment for alarms, building searches, article searches, narcotics sniffs, tracking fleeing suspects, and evidence location.
Our K9s also give community presentations and public appearances demonstrating their uses and abilities.
