The two teams are certified in narcotics detection. Simon and Argo are also both certified in building searches, area searches, article searches, tracking, and protection. As of 2024 Simon and Argo have been deployed thousands of times, removed hundreds of criminals from the streets and taken pounds of drugs off the streets.
Salem's K9 Unit is funded through contributions, fundraising projects, and special events. The Salem Police Department K9 Fund is held at the Salem Community Foundation. These contributions cover the costs associated with Salem's K9 program. We are thankful for the generosity of individuals, organizations, and businesses who actively contribute to our fund!
Our K9 unit currently consists of two K9 Teams, Chaz and Fero, who proudly serve as the third and fourth K9s in the department's history. We are grateful to carry on the legacy of Simon and Argo. Filling their shoes is no small task, but Chaz and Fero are determined young pups ready to rise to the challenge!
The Salem Police Department K9 Fund was established to help obtain equipment, training, education, and medical costs for Salem’s K9 teams. We are very grateful for your financial support of our K9 Fund. Thank you!
