Canine Program

Initiated in 2007, The Williams Police Department Canine Program, funded solely through public and private donations, has already been deemed a success and very beneficial to the community.

The program began with the purchase of Sarek, whose full name is "O'Breon's
Sarek", a 4-year old male Belgian Malinois. He was born on April 28, 2003 and
weighs approximately 75 pounds. Sarek came to us from El Dorado, California, where his previous owner, Karen Robertson trained him and competed in the (PSA) Protection Sport Association Trials.

Sarek and Police Officer Keith Swift, a four-year veteran of the Police Department, work together four nights a week, locating hidden suspects, searching for illegal narcotics, and protecting one another while on patrol.

When not on-duty, Sarek is at home with Officer Swift and his family. Sarek enjoys playing tug-a-war, fetch, and going on walks. Sarek also loves training and going to work.

The K-9 Unit is made available to surrounding law enforcement agencies and provides demonstrations to schools, youth groups, and civic organizations upon request.

Remember, Sarek is a Police Dog. Although he is very friendly, he is protective of his partner and his police car. Please do not walk up to the police car and try to pet him.
