ORANGE POLICE DEPARTMENT K9 UNIT

The Orange Police Department K-9 Unit currently consists of 2 police dog/handler teams, both of which are certified as basic patrol dogs. These teams are also each certified in a specialty function. The teams respond to a variety of calls including, but not limited to, lost and missing persons, fleeing criminals, burglaries, crowd control situations, suspicious packages, and narcotics calls. The teams have proven to be an invaluable asset not only in their deterrence of crime and ability to find and locate individuals that would normally escape, but also as a public relations tool. K-9 teams also perform demonstrations throughout the year for local schools, camps, and civic organizations. Sergeant Michael Kosh is the supervisor in charge of the K-9 Unit.
