In July of 2021, Officer Danielle Mytych and K9 Rex began basic training. This 5 week training course in southern California taught protection techniques. Additional future training will include a specialization in detecting explosive devices. This go-getter loves to work, jumping into his harness each morning with a smile on his face. We are thrilled to have Rex at the Pismo Beach Police Department.
The K9 program is fully funded by donations and your support would be sincerely appreciated. Costs include food, supplies and medical expenses for the dog, as well as ongoing training expenses, specialized equipment and the initial purchase price of the dog. We would like to thank our generous community for their continued support of the Pismo Beach Police K9 Team. Without you this program would be impossible. If you would like to help fund the K9 team, donations can be made payable to: The City of Pismo Beach and mailed to 1000 Bello Street, Pismo Beach, CA 93449. Attn: K9 Program.
