Officer Brian Sternquist and Belgian Malinois Taz are also members of the canine unit. Sternquist and Taz graduated from training in June 2016 along with Officer Kim and Ike. Officer Sternquist says he has enjoyed learning to be a canine handler and has a great respect for what the dogs can do.
Officer Sternquist says, Taz is a hard worker. He knows when it's time to work and he's excited to go to work. His keen instincts, sense of smell and training have all helped him become an amazing tracking dog.
