All K-9 Patrol teams are nationally certified as police canines before they work the streets of Austin.  A
patrol dog is certified to search buildings and areas for unauthorized persons, search for evidence
dropped or hidden by suspects, pursue and apprehend suspects fleeing a scene, and protect his
handler.
