The K-9 Division

The objective of the Burbank Police Department's K-9 Unit is to provide the Department with an additional specialized Unit to increase the effectiveness in the detection and prevention of crime as well as the apprehension of criminals. The K-9 Unit provides a tangible service to the Department and has a psychological effect on the criminal activity within the Community.

The greatest value of our K-9 lies in his keen senses of sight, smell, and hearing which aid in the search for drugs, persons, and of buildings. The K-9 Unit provides a positive public image of the Department's expertise and efficiency.

The Burbank Police Department's K-9, Officer Demi and Officer Fram, are trained in obedience, agility, evidence searches, building searches and apprehension work. The officers and their K-9 partners have received thousands of hours of training in drug detection, tracking, and suspect apprehension.
