Let’s face it: being responsible for the safety and security of a school, college, or healthcare facility can be really stressful. Sometimes protection professionals need a break, and there is no better way to do this than to check out some really cool campus K9s!

Here are some photos of traditional police dogs used to detect drugs, weapons, and explosives, as well as comfort K9s that work as therapy dogs at hospitals, institutions of higher education, and K-12 campuses. We’ve also added some new favorites to this year’s batch.

Additionally, dogs make really great family pets, so we’ve included the fur-babies of some of Campus Safety’s staff members.

If your department has some cool K9 photos or videos, feel free to send them to me at Robin.Hattersley@EmeraldX.com.

Now, just sit back, take a breather, and check out these photos and videos of man’s best friend. Enjoy!
