The Downey Police Department is proud to announce the expansion of the canine program with our new Canine Handler, Corporal Ed Hano, and his police service dog, Dani. Dani is a three year old female Dutch Shepherd who was hand selected by our Department after testing several other dogs.
Corporal Hano has been a police officer with the Downey Police Department since 2002. Corporal Hano has worked in Field Operations as a Patrol Officer and a Field Training Officer, and worked in the Detective Bureau as a Narcotics Detective. During his time with the Downey Police Department, Corporal Hano has received awards for his enforcement efforts in the recovery of stolen vehicles and arresting the suspects responsible for the theft of the vehicles.
Corporal Hano and Dani recently completed six weeks of suspect apprehension training and soon will be attending an additional five weeks of training in narcotics detection.
