Welcome

WELCOME

Hi-
I'm Atlas, a Police Canine (or K9) for the Oceanside Police Department. I am a Belgian Malinois. I work with a Police Officer partner, also called a "Handler", his name is Kevin. Together we are a K9 team and we patrol the City of Oceanside. Our job is to assist other police officers in doing their jobs and making things safer for them. I have a really good nose and my handler teaches me to use it to search for things. Right now I'm getting good at finding people my handler wants me to find. I can look in buildings, fields, lots, inside cars and find somebody hiding. I'm still getting use to riding around in a patrol car, the siren makes me howl, LOL! Anyway, I started this blog so you kids could see what kinds of stuff I'm up to. Check in here and there and see if I've posted any updates. Maybe I'll see you around, I'll try not to bark at you :)

Working...


So I've been working consistently without injury for a few weeks now! I feel great and have managed to cause a couple "bad guys" to give up because I'm so scary, LOL!  I was still getting some laser treatment from the vet and Myopulse/Acuscope Therapy from Bev and it has really helped my leg to feel 100 times better.  The highlight of the last couple weeks was doing a demo with K9 Nero at a US Marine Corps family day event on Camp Pendleton, it was an honor to show off a little for our Marines and their families since they do so much for us.

Passed my Test

Today, after almost 3 months off the street from my injuries I re-certified!  Certification is a test they put you through to make sure you are capable of meeting the minimum requirements for police work. I was nervous but we made it!  We also found this cool barrel in my neighborhood that we brought home for me to jump on! Hope I can stay healthy and can report back with some neat stories!
