The Sheboygan Police Department has maintained an active canine program since 1989. The first three canines on the Department were dual-purpose. They were used for patrol work and narcotics detection. The first handler was Lt. Jeff Johnston and his K-9 partner Cello. Officer David Adams took over in 1995 with his K-9 partner Daro. In January 2000, Officer Eric Edson's K-9 partner Duc, began his tour of duty. The ever changing atmosphere and mode of operation of criminal elements within the City of Sheboygan demonstrated the need for a single purpose narcotics canine team. The Department has seen an increase in narcotic arrests and drug related crimes over the past several years. The K-9 Unit is a proactive component that joins specific efforts to fight drugs in the community. The other efforts include the continued collaboration of the Sheboygan County MEG Unit, the Sheboygan Police Street Crimes Unit, and the Community Policing Unit.
