27 Canine teams: each consisting of a dog and a handler are stationed at strategic points across the province and provide canine support for search and rescue operations, tracking wanted persons, detecting narcotics, explosives, cadaver and physical evidence. Canine teams teams are on call 24 hours a day for assignment anywhere in Ontario.
Canine teams undergo 16 weeks of intensive training at the OPP Academy Canine Training Centre. During the first 16week training period dogs are trained to follow specific human scent over various terrains in all weather conditions. The dogs are also taught to protect the handler on command even in the face of gunfire.
Within one year of completing the training, teams return to be trained to detect narcotics.
Some Specialty dogs, usually Labrador retrievers, are trained for specific duties. There are currently 6 teams trained to detect explosives, 6 additional teams are trained to detect human remains that are buried or under water, and 3 teams are trained to locate people buried as a result of a disaster.
