Sheriff's K-9 Unit The Monmouth County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit presently consists of five dogs; four explosive detection teams (K-9 Rocky - German Shepard, K-9 Lexus - Chesapeake Bay Retriever, K-9 Falco - German Shepard and K-9 Jake - Labrador Retriever), and one tracking team (K-9 Savannah - Bloodhound). The Sheriff's Office K-9 units are called upon year-round to assist local police departments with explosive detection and criminal or missing person searches.  During
the days and weeks immediately following the World Trade Center attack,
two Sheriff's K-9 teams worked closely with the Port Authority Police
to provide explosive detection searches at the bridges and tunnels
leading to New York City. Other Sheriff's Officers served as "spotters"
providing security for the dog handlers while they worked. During
the 10 days following the attack, Sheriff's Office K-9 teams conducted
explosive detection searches on over one thousand vehicles at the
border crossings between New Jersey and New York. The Sheriff's Office K-9 units undergo
rigorous ongoing training programs to maintain proficiency in
basic skills and ensure continued effective performance in the
field. Each K-9 team must complete a state-mandated 10-week
training course at a certified K-9 training facility. After
completing this initial training, Sheriff's K-9 teams must maintain
at least eight hours of in-service training each month.
