K9 Unit

The K9 Unit is a comprehensive tactical companion system allowing K9 certified officers to summon, command, and utilize police dogs for tracking, searches, and physical apprehensions.

Summoning & Breed Selection

  • Kennel Requirements: Officers must stand near a designated station Kennel zone to summon a K9.
  • Summoning Whistle: Use the k9_whistle item to open the K9 interaction menu.
  • K9 Breeds:
    • German Shepherd: High damage, weapons specialist. Excellent at tracking firearms.
    • Golden Retriever: Low damage, narcotics specialist. 100% chance to detect drugs quickly.
    • Rottweiler: Balanced guardian. Detects all contraband types.
    • Siberian Husky: Fast tracker. Detects all contraband types.
  • Coats: With ChooseCoat = true, pick Coat in the K9 menu to change your dog's coat.
  • Leash: Pick Leash in the K9 menu to clip the leash on or take it off. Nearby players see it too (Config.K9.Leash).

Tactical Commands

  • Follow/Stay (Keybind: J): Toggle whether the dog actively heels behind you or stays in place.
  • Vehicle Boarding (Keybind: O): Order the K9 to jump into the nearest passenger seat of your patrol vehicle or exit.
  • Attack suspect (Keybind: K -> Target Player): Directs the K9 to sprint towards and physically attack/tackle a targeted suspect.
  • Dog Emotes (Keybind: HOME): Command your K9 to sit, lay down, bark, or play dead.

Contraband Search Mechanics

  • Vehicle Search: Stand near any vehicle with your K9 out and select "Search Vehicle (K9)" from the target options. The dog will sniff the vehicle and alert you (sit & bark) if it detects drugs or weapons inside. With MarkSpot = true it walks to where the items are, the glovebox or the trunk, and alerts there.
  • Searches are checked on the server, so results can't be faked from the client.
  • Player Search: Select "Order Search" from the K9 player interaction menu. The dog will walk up to the player, sniff them, and sit down if contraband is found on their person.
