Background Information
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to permit the North Port Police Department (NPPD) to provide canine handler training to Sarasota Police Department (SPD) canine handlers so that the Parties are able to provide mutual aid and assistance to one another to cope with emergency services as it relates to the provision of a Public Safety Bomb Squad.
NPPD currently conducts canine handler training for its police canine handlers on a regularly scheduled basis. SPD has a limited number of trainers for its police canine handlers. This MOU outlines the terms and conditions between the Parties for the SPD police canine handlers to attend the NPPD canine handler training events, as needed, and for the mutual deployment of explosive detection canines.
