Santa Ana Police Department K9 Team
Santa Ana Police Department has eight working dogs. Among them are Rosie, a bloodhound, used to track missing persons or suspects by scent, and Shadow, a Labrador, the first full-time therapeutic K9 in Orange County. Shadow is sometimes used in interviews to soothe juvenile victims of violent crimes. There is also one K9 trained in the detection of narcotics, which enables him to assist patrol and narcotics officers, as well as outside law enforcement agencies, in locating illegal drugs.
