Three CDCR K-9s assisting their handlers to help keep institutions safe are Skipper, Tokyo and Yankee.
- Skipper and Correctional Officer S. Cisneros work at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.
- Tokyo and Correctional Officer M. Nunley are based out of San Quentin Rehabilitation Center.

Every day, CDCR K-9s work alongside their handlers to help keep the institutions, staff and public safe. From locating contraband to assisting with criminal investigations, these highly trained officers play an important role in maintaining safety across California’s institutions.
CDCR recognizes the dedication, loyalty and service of our K-9 partners. This is the ninth in the series highlighting CDCR’s K-9s and their handlers.
