Three of our four of our K9 teams are “patrol” trained. They are trained in obedience, tracking, criminal apprehension, building and article searches, and handler protection. They patrol the Borough of Glassboro in marked K9 vehicles that are equipped with heat sensors and warning alarms for the safety of the dog.

Currently, one of our K9 teams is strictly a tracking dog used for locating missing and runaway persons.

The objective of the Glassboro Police K-9 Unit clear: To increase the quality life for the residents and visitors of Glassboro, to assist our neighboring communities when requested, and to provide a safe working environment for the men and women of the Glassboro Police Department and agencies throughout Gloucester County.
