Halton Regional Police Service welcomes K9 Cache to the family

The Halton Regional Police Service has announced their newest team member, an Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) dog named K9 Cache.

Cache is trained to detect hidden electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, hard drives, USB drives, memory cards, hidden cameras and GPS tracking devices during search warrant executions and vehicle searches.

Police say she is one of 10 ESD K9s in Canada.

They add that Cache is a Labrador Retriever that was selected and trained by Jordan Detection K9 in the United States.

Cache went through a challenging five month training program before being donated to the HRPS by OUR Rescue – a non-profit organization that combats child sexual exploitation and human trafficking worldwide.

Her background sets her up for her new role assisting authorities with sexual exploitation and human trafficking investigations. As a secondary role, Cache will also offer comfort and wellness support to victims of crime, their families and officers.
