Following the shooting in Allen, June 30th, which resulted in the death of several officers and K-9 Drago, the Foley County Sheriff's Office was left without a K-9 officer. In December, the department introduced K-9 Officer Bear, followed by K-9 Officer Mako in January. I'll put it as simple as this. There is no better asset in law enforcement than a K-9. They open so many different doors. They assist you more than anyone can imagine. When it comes to a K-9, obviously everyone wants to think of them as a pet, but you have to realize it's just like a taser, a gun, they're like a toy on your belt. They help you catch people that run from you. They help you find a league of drugs that's on our streets. And I mean, that's something that you can't really want to try to get control of enough modern day because we all know how the drug epidemic is in our local communities. Both K-9's Bear and Mako are dual-purpose dogs who specialize not only in drug detection, but apprehension and tracking. So K-9 Mako, he was purchased through the Kent Rose Foundation, the donations they took up for the Drago Fund. With that being said, the other funds that was left, it was used to purchase all the K-9 equipment, equipment for the cars, several pieces of equipment for K-9 Bear as well. The cruiser, they have to be specially made with a K-9 kennel to house the dog. My cruiser, along with 50 maize, it also has a two-thirds passenger compartment. So along with the dog, we can haul a prisoner as well. The back of the cruiser, we have to carry numerous items for the dog, reward toys, bite sleeves, just various things. Med kits. So I mean, we're equipped a little bit better than most of the guys at the other department. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
