The California State University, Northridge Police Department's K9 Unit is comprised of Officer Gonzalez and his partner "Dino" and Corporal Finnerty and his partner "Dozer". Both teams have had extensive training in explosives ordnance detection and train on a weekly basis with their German Shepherd partners, both of which are "bilingual", taking commands in both German and English.

The CSU Northridge Police Department K9 Unit was formed in 2005 and, at the time, specifically focused on explosives detection until the program was expanded to include tracking and suspect apprehension in late 2007.
