Comox Valley RCMP has introduced Magic, the newest member of the Comox Valley detachment.

Police Service Dog Magic, born in 2019 at the RCMP Police Dog Training Centre in Alberta, was raised through the RCMP’s Imprinting Program in Manitoba.

In 2020, Magic was partnered with Constable Chris Johnson, and together they completed the six-month Basic Dog Handlers Course in Alberta.

Since then, the team has served in the Lower Mainland.

PSD Magic is trained in subject tracking, suspect apprehension, search and rescue (SAR), evidence detection, and explosives detection.

Constable Johnson and Magic have already begun working in the Comox Valley and release from the unit says they are excited to bring their skills and dedication to the area.
