Reference - City of Pacifica, "Police Canine Program"... "In April 2011, the Rotary Club of Pacifica purchased another canine for the City of Pacifica. This Canine, "Janyk" (Yahnik) is partnered with Officer Cris Serrano. "Janyk" and Officer Serrano currently patrol the streets of Pacifica looking to take a "bite out of crime" The Pacifica Police Department canine unit has been an important asset since its inception. The canine teams have been responsible for hundreds of arrests, many of which involved a canine locating hidden suspects who otherwise would have avoided detection if not for the keen nose and ears of a police dog."
