K9 Unit

The Brownsburg Police Department has four K9 teams for the agency, with one team assigned to each shift.  Each K9 has a specially trained officer as handler.  Together they completed an initial 5-6 week course specific to their area of expertise. 

The K9 team assists officers in the following areas:

  • Apprehension of suspects that have committed felony crimes
  • Building searches for suspect
  • Narcotics Detection in vehicles and structures
  • Locating lost persons
  • Locating articles or evidence used in the commission of a crime
  • Tracking suspects that are fleeing or avoiding police

Brownsburg Police K9s are kenneled and cared for at their handler’s residence.
