Police Officer Tulio Camajo, King’s partner, says that they bond with their dogs from when they are puppies, and they begin basic command training and move on to building on policing （取り締まり）scenarios, and it is through these lessons that the handlers and dogs learn from each other. They even live together.
While the NYPD states that the K-9 Unit is invaluable （かけがえのない）to the department, the dogs do not immediately go barging （ぶつかる）into a scene when an incident occurs. Instead, the handlers start screening and searching the alternate （別の）sites and adjacent （隣接した）stations (for example in a bomb threat) to ensure there are no secondary devices.
“Based on statistics（統計）, what can happen is someone could put a device, let’s say (例えばですが） at a hypothetical（仮想の）station, they’ll set it off （爆発させる）and wait for first responders to respond and then set off a secondary （２番目の）device. So, what we do is we’ll check other locations, we’ll check the perimeter （外周） outside the station…these guys are always out there,” Gaspard said.
Aside from（～とは別に）continuous training to keep these canines（K-9） intip-top （最高の）shape （体調）, they also receive veterinarian（獣医） care. Like their humancounterparts（相棒）, the canine unit receives numerous breaks（休憩） to protect against heatexhaustion（疲労） and to enjoy their lunch. Gaspard says they often alternate（交代させる）the dogs during their shift, so one dog will be out with the handler and another will be cooling off or resting, and then they are switched out.
The handlers alsoreinforced （強調した）that they do not see their furry （毛むくじゃらの） partners as pets, but as true partners who are there to support one another, especially in life-and-death situations. It is through this trust that a strong bond is built.
In addition to being an essential part of the NYPD, the unit adds that the dogs help bridge relationships with community members and invite them to communicate with officers.
