On June 4, 2024, K9 Kylo was sworn in as Pismo Beach Police Department’s K9!
K9 Kylo and his handler, Officer Downs, have gone through an intensive 6-week training course to prepare them for serving the community of Pismo Beach. Training included apprehension and protective techniques, building searches, and vehicle extractions. Additional future training will include a specialization in detecting firearms and ammunition. Kylo is always excited to come to work to protect the community of Pismo Beach. We are so pleased to have K9 Kylo as part of our team, and we look forward to sharing updates from the field with you on our social media pages!
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.
