Essex County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit
The Essex County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit is on the front lines of safety, working tirelessly to protect our staff, inmates, and the community. These highly trained canines aren’t just dogs—they’re elite crime-fighting partners, trained to handle high-stakes situations with precision and skill.
Our K-9 teams specialize in patrol and tactical response, as well as narcotic detection, ensuring that every corner of our facility remains secure. These incredible dogs assist in building and fence checks, perimeter patrols, narcotics searches, crowd control, and more — playing a crucial role in maintaining order and safety. We also have our comfort K9 Pasky who is always at the ready to be out in the community to share a little puppy love.
But their work doesn’t stop there! Our K-9 Unit is also a proud ambassador to the community, showcasing their skills at schools, public events, and local organizations.
