The K-9 Division

The objective of the Burbank Police
Department's K-9 Unit is to provide the Department with an additional
specialized Unit to increase the effectiveness in the detection and
prevention of crime as well as the apprehension of criminals. The K-9 Unit
provides a tangible service to the Department and has a psychological effect
on the criminal activity within the Community.
The greatest value of our K-9 lies in his keen senses of sight, smell, and
hearing which aid in the search for drugs, persons, and of buildings. The
K-9 Unit provides a positive public image of the Department's expertise and
efficiency.
The Burbank Police Department's K-9, Officer Lary and Officer Fram, are
trained in obedience, agility, evidence searches, building searches and
apprehension work. The officers and their K-9 partners have received
thousands of hours of training in drug detection, tracking, and suspect
apprehension.

In
May 2005, Sgt. Perovich and K-9 officer Kazan successfully located and apprehended a
drug trafficker transporting 300 lbs of marijuana from Texas to Illinois. The
suspect has since been convicted on all charges. Both are to be
commended for their fine work in the war on drugs.
