EXPLOSIVES DETECTION K-9 DEMONTRATION
1st Annual SF National Pet Week
The Police & Working K-9 Foundation “Cover Your K-9” program will host a demonstration of Explosives Detection K9 skills as a part of the National Pet Week event on May 11th.
 
In the wake of the bombings in Boston, the work of these specialized K9 units is critical.  The public is invited to meet these explosives detection K-9 teams and learn about the important jobs that they perform in keeping our communities safe.  Special K-9 Detection teams participate in sweeps for explosives at the Giants games, during visits by the President & heads of state as well as during parades and festivals in San Francisco and communities all over our state and country.  They often work quietly in the background to protect our communities, high profile landmarks & public events & celebrations.
