Plainclothes K-9 patrols?

[Dr. Zuki 1]

Has anybody ever been aware of plainclothes K-9's on a permanent basis??

This came to mind after remembering that Yonkers PD briefly did plainclothes

K-9 detail going way back when northeast Yonkers was drowning in daily house

burglaries and I believe they did the detail in the Crestwood part of town with the PO

in plainclothes "dog walking" walking through the residential neighborhood, including use

of a non descript anti crime car that might have been a green Chrysler Newport.

But since K-9 in a marked car alone is such a tremendous deterrent, maybe plainclothes

would not be practical.

Thanks and Stay Safe!!!
