 K-9 Section
The Truro Police Service K9 section was established in 1994. Since this time there have been four K9 Teams including the current team consisting of K9 handler CST. Justin RUSSELL and (PSD) police service dog QUAID.
QUAID, a pure bred German Sheppard (sable) was born on August 31st, 2006 in Germany. QUAID was purchased through Vanderhaus Kennels in Ohio (USA) which specializes in police service and protection dogs. He was imported to Truro from Frankfort, Germany in July 2007 when he was 11 months old.
K9 Officers complete a four month K9 course in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This course is certified through the Department of Justice and is conducted by the Halifax Regional Police K9 section.
Quaid is trained in several different profiles which include Obedience, Aggression, Tracking, Building searching, Article Searching, and Narcotics searching.
