Just doing some other research and came across this gem that I had to share:

Officer Robinson and K-9 Czar have been working together since 2002 when they attended the Michigan State Police K-9 Academy. Officer Robinson has been with the Ann Arbor Police Department since 1999 and was a military K-9 handler and police officer prior to that.

K-9 Czar was born in August 2001 and started his training in September 2002. K-9 Czar is explosive detector trained as well as tracking and other types of searches.

K-9 Czar's name is short for "Pfizer", his official name. The Pfizer Corporation has a major presence in Ann Arbor and donated the full cost of bringing Czar into the Ann Arbor Police Department, including his purchase, training and the specialized vehicle he rides in.

Gotta love the corporate police state (sorry for being redundant).
