## Resource

California’s K-9 unit just hit a milestone: six new canine officers graduate, including historic Springer Spaniel Lincoln, stationed at the Capitol to sniff out explosives in mailrooms. Joining him are Belgian Malinois Lucy and Vader, Dutch Shepherds Joker and Trooper, and German Shepherd Rex — each trained over 600 hours. These teams, now part of California’s largest K-9 force (54 total), will patrol from the Bay Area to the San Diego border, blending elite skill with community trust.
