Currently we have one (1) K-9 / <br /> Officer Team who is trained as a patrol work dog and certified in <br /> narcotics detection. Our goal is to increase the K-9 Unit by two <br /> additional teams to include a bomb/explosive detection team. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> Expanding the K-9 Unit by two teams will require these two additional <br /> specialized K-9 vehicles. These vehicles will be purchased from <br /> Garber Chevrolet through the Florida Sheriffs Association's Contract <br /> Bid #15-23-0904. <br /> FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> 100 <br />
