POLICE DOGS DEMONSTRATE FOR WOMEN’S COUNCIL
From narcotics and explosive training to suspect apprehension and obedience, officers Robert Wynkoop and Aaron Hamilton from the Glendale Police Department Canine Unit talked about their daily training with their K-9 companions Marlin and Quwai, during a recent Verdugo Hills Hospital Foundation’s Women’s Council luncheon at the hospital.
Demonstrations were presented by the K-9 officers and their handlers in order to show their dogs’ skills, capabilities and response to commands.
The dogs and their handlers were so professional and seemed so bonded to one another, said Sue Wilder, Women’s Council program chair.
The love these officers have for their dogs is so obvious, and it is wonderful to see how each team works together, said Chris Mason, chair of the Women’s Council.
The Women’s Council has about 65 members who live in the surrounding foothill communities and have backgrounds ranging from medicine, business, education and community leadership.
