K-9 Unit

Sheriff Bellotti's K-9 Unit is a nationally certified division of officers and their canine partners who are trained in suspect apprehension, drug detection and missing person searches. The teams of three officers and three German shepherds also participate in community-based K-9 demonstrations all across Norfolk County.

Every year, Sheriff Bellotti's K-9 Unit responds to hundreds of requests from local communities and participates in regular training and competitions.

All three of the canines are now fitted with bulletproof vests, just like their human handlers, thanks to the money-raising efforts of local children sponsored by Massachusetts Vest-A-Dog, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping police dogs safe.

Requests for K-9 services can be made by calling the Sheriff's Office at 781-751-3304.
