NYPD graduates six officers and their K9 partners in transit crime unit
The New York City Police Department held a graduation ceremony today in Queens for the newest four-legged members of its Transit Canine team. The six new dogs and their police officer partners completed a highly comprehensive explosive detection training program enhancing the Department’s ability to continue keeping subway riders safe
“Today’s new canine graduates and their handlers join the many highly trained men, women and canines of the Department’s Transit Canine Unit. There they will continue to keep New York City’s subway system safe for all riders,” said Police Commissioner William Bratton.
In addition to the great responsibility these canines and their partners have, some of these highly trained dogs bear the name of a fallen member of the NYPD.
