When I am elected, I will bring back the K-9 units (dog units) to San Bernardino County Sheriff’s patrol.
The deputies in the field tell me, they are mad at the command staff. They have lost faith in them. When I talk to deputies in patrol they tell me, “we need our K-9 units back” and they get mad when they talk about it. They feel that their safety is compromised when approaching a building or car with armed suspects and unable to use a K-9 unit. They are able to ask other agencies for K-9 help from time to time. This is unacceptable.
