K9 Unit

The San Fernando Police Department K-9 program was founded in 1987.

In 2021, K9 Renz, who was a two-year old Belgian Malinois, dual purpose dog, who is trained for patrol and narcotics detection, joined the San Fernando Police Department canine unit and in February 2022, Officer Nick Murillo was also assigned to the canine unit.

The primary initiative of the K9 team is to search for and locate suspects, evidence, narcotics that can be linked to a specific crime.
