Canine Training

Resource Protection Solutions Canine Team members receive 160 hours of basic K-9 training, followed by 60 hours monthly training between handler and dog, and 48 hours re-certification training annually.  This training is in addition to other RPST and state mandated training requirements for police officers.

Canine teams are continually tested to ensure the highest quality product possible is deployed to the field.

To provide maximum effectiveness canine teams are assigned to strategic areas around the BNSF system.  These teams perform routine patrol and respond to incidents when requested by railroad police or public sector law enforcement agencies.
