K-9 Unit

K9 Training

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 Jason Kollman, his canine partner Rico, Officer Angela Carlson, and her partner Blaez. These teams search buildings, track suspects and respond to narcotics calls. Because Bloomfield Township has two K9 teams, a police dog is almost always available to assist patrol officers.

To learn more about how dogs are trained for work in law enforcement, visit the National Police Working Dog Association website.
