Become a Colton Police K-9 Training Site
To enhance our biweekly training we are constantly looking for new areas and buildings to train in. To partner with the Colton Police Department K-9 Unit and become a police canine training site, contact us by emailing a member from the K-9 unit. A member from the unit will contact you to provide further information or to answer any questions you may have. Thank you and we look forward to becoming partners with the community.
