K9 RIDE ALONG

This is a NATPKG of a ride along I did with the new K9 officer in Waynesboro named Xareta. The story was originally a VOSOT showcasing the introduction of the dog at a press conference. I thought it would be great if we took it a step further and saw the new dog in action and it resulted in this NATPKG.


The orginal story I wrote for NBC29:

Waynesboro Police Introduce New K9 Officer
Waynesboro police paid tribute to a beloved colleague and welcomed a new one Friday.

The department presented a memorial in honor of Kizmet, a K9 officer who served with the force from December 1999 until his death from cancer this past September. Police also introduced their newest officer, Xareta.

"The only difference is Kizmet was aggressive alert on narcotics, meaning that he clawed and scratched when he found it. She's passive alert which means her final response will be a sit down," said Jesse Shaver, a K9 handler with the department.

Xareta hails from Czechoslovakia by way of Louisa County, where she was trained.

One of my favorite things when I'm watching COPS is how quickly the perps attitude changes when they hear those dogs barking.
