Video: K-9 Puts on Show at Davis Senior Center
Officer Lee Hatfield and K-9 Hurricane demonstrated their law enforcement skills for those in attendance.
The Davis Senior Center filled up yesterday for a presentation by Officer Lee Hatfield and his K-9 partner, Hurricane.
Hurricane is a multipurpose police dog trained to search for people, drugs, evidence and to apprehend suspects, according to the Davis Police Department website. He is a well-mannered dog that loves attention and is very social.
Hurricane has worked for the department since 2006 and spends his off time at home with Officer Hatfield and his family.
Watch the video above to see why U.S. departments tend to buy K-9s from Europe rather than those bred in America.

Would I mess with Hurricane? No because I do not like to loose.
Hurricane and the officer are an exceptional team and a credit to the Davis Police Department and the people of Davis. As a K-9 officer as well (Security), I have had the pleasure of working with them both. A security K-9 as with our business Northern Cal (norcalagencies.com) is not much different then the police K-9 as they perform most of the same tasks and for our K-9 some of the training has been done by Officer Hatfield as we look forward to more of his expertise.

I would absolutely give Hurricane a big hug and a word of praise. I would not mess with him, because he is setting a wonderful example of how well-mannered, respectful, and sociable Davis PD human officers can and should act toward women and children in our community.
