By Kevin Forestieri Photos by Natalia Nazarova

very week, K9 Officer Dorene Hansen hits the Estreets of Mountain View around the time that everyone else is headed to bed. Once her 5-year-old German shepherd, Odin, hops into the back seat of the police car, the crime-fighting duo gets rolling as they keep an eye out for anything suspicious until the sun comes up.

As a seasoned veteran, Hansen is one of several officers scanning city streets at night for what she calls “bad guys” committing crimes. During a ride-along on Aug. 25, it was clear that Hansen doesn’t wait around for crime reports to come in over the radio — she takes a more proactive approach. Throughout the night, Hansen kept a close eye on the areas that attract criminal activity, like the 24-hour Walgreens at Grant Road and El Camino Real. She didn’t hesitate to pull someone over for minor traffic offenses — anything from a broken tail light to failing to stop at an intersec- tion — and it became clear why, when one of the traffic stops esca- tionship with Odin and going lated into an arrest for suspected just about everywhere with him, methamphetamine possession.
