K-9 Demo Request

The Ponchatoula Police Department K-9 Division, consisting of a handler and a dog working in a unique partnership. Under the direction of their handlers, the dogs assist with patrol and narcotics duties such as traffic stops, car and building searches and tracking. They are trained to pursue and apprehend, with minimum force, criminals fleeing a serious crime and arrest. They are called upon to conduct area searches for evidence and conduct drug searches at our schools.
At present, the K-9s in service with the PPD are all Belgian Malinois, a medium size breed of dog with exceptional beauty and working ability. In addition to police work, they are often used for herding and tracking and are well known for their obedience. They resemble the German Shepherd but have many differences from this breed in terms of size, bone structure, color, and head and ear shape. The Belgian Malinois is generally a lighter, quicker, more agile dog. They are well suited for police work and can provide as many as 10-12 years of service.
The Ponchatoula Police K-9 Division will make every effort to provide a K-9 demo for your school or event. The K-9 demo is designed to portray the skill involved and the work performed by the K-9 teams on a daily basis, plus give both children and adults an opportunity to gain knowledge and ask questions about the K-9 Unit. Basic obedience, agility, article search, simulated criminal apprehension and mock narcotic searches are conducted free of charge. The one-on-one interaction encourages children to build trust toward officers and to learn drug awareness. The value of these exhibitions has proved immeasurable for everyone. Demonstrations have been provided in schools, written about in newspapers, shown on television, and incorporated in meetings with professional organizations and law enforcement entities.

Emergencies can arise, and K-9 teams may have to cancel any engagement in order assist their community or other communities in their work. If this occurs, we apologize and another date may be arranged.
