Training
Our K-9 Unit chooses to train with Steve Brewer of Law Dogs. Steve Brewer is a retired Sacramento Police Officer. Steve handled several police dogs over the course of his career and is considered an expert in the industry.The Davis Police Department would like to thank Steve Brewer for his expert training and knowledge. Without Steve, our K-9 teams would not be nearly as successful.
Our K-9 Unit trains every Wednesday for a minimum of four hours. On an average training day, we work on obedience, agility, control, protection, pursuits, building searches, area searches and narcotics. Our unit trains with neighboring agencies which include: West Sacramento Police Department, Sacramento Police Department, Vacaville Police Department, Citrus Heights Police Department, and the Corning Police Department.
In addition to training at the PD, our K-9 Unit trains at local businesses, parks, and even residences to provide a realistic and challenging evironment for the dogs and handlers. We are always looking for new and challenging training locations. If you have a facility that you would be interested in allowing our K-9 Unit to train in, please contact us at (530) 747-5400.
