K-9 Unit

Officer Achieves Title of Master TrainerThe 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.
