K-9 Division

The Crisp County Sheriff’s Office Canine Unit is a valuable resource utilized by its deputies and other law enforcement agencies throughout the state. The K-9 teams are deployed as a sophisticated tool to enhance the capabilities of traffic and other units on traffic stops, crime scenes, and a variety of other calls.

Canine Team duties include conducting building searches, locating missing persons, tracking dangerous suspects who have fled the scene of the crime and performing searches for narcotic detection in addition to their other assigned law enforcement duties.
