Welcome new PSDs!

New PSDs
The four new canine recruits were officially “sworn in” to the VPD on January 13 by Chief Const. Adam Palmer. 

PSD Ghost, Cash, Dak and Solo are all German Shepherds and graduated from the intensive 16-week VPD training and dog handling course. They have now joined the other active Canine Unit teams. 

 

Originating in 1957, the Vancouver Police Canine Unit is the oldest municipal police dog unit in Canada. If you haven’t yet, we recommend you follow them on Twitter @VPDCanine

Thanks to the support of people like you, the Vancouver Police Foundation has granted over $10 million towards more than 200+ innovative programs – including over $500,000 to the VPD Canine Unit to provide our PSD heroes with important life-saving tools and the most advanced training facility in Canada.
