K-9 Unit
 The Bloomfield Township Police Department's
Canine Unit is the longest standing unit in Oakland County.
Formed in the mid-1960s when Bloomfield Township was more
rural than suburban, the Unit reached its heyday in the 70's.
At the time, Bloomfield Township Police Department boasted a
premier K-9 Unit comprised of seven dog-handlers and seven
dogs, which responded to police dog service requests from all
over the County and throughout Metro-Detroit. Over the course
of the years, the Unit was down-sized when other police
departments, recognizing the value of a well-trained police
dog, established their own units.
Today, Bloomfield Township's Canine Unit consists of
Officer Gary Godlewski and his canine partner, Brisco. As a
team, they search buildings, track suspects and respond to
narcotics calls. Brisco, trained as a "narcotics detection
dog," is capable of sniffing out illegal drugs.
Officer Jason Kollman also has
a dog now, named Rico.
To learn more about how dogs are trained for work in law
enforcement, visit the National Police Working Dog
Association website.
