The Middletown Police Department has a long history of K-9 handlers. Currently we have two K-9 teams; Officer Tim Meehan and K-9 Viper and Officer Dennis Jordan and K-9 Gunner.

In addition to basic patrol dog responsibilities, our canines specialize in criminal suspect searches/apprehensions, evidence searches, explosive detection, narcotic detection, open area searches, site security and tracking.
Public education is also an important element of the Canine (K-9) Unit. Officers conduct public demonstrations for neighborhood, civic and community organizations on a regular basis. To schedule a demonstration call (513) 425-7760.
