K9 Fighting Drugs At Schools
August 9, 2012
A four legged deputy and her handler have been working to keep drugs out of the Santa Rosa County schools.
The lab named “Idgie” and Deputy Marshall Holbrook teamed up for the first year together as a drug fighting duo.
From August 2011 to June 2012, Idgie performed 451 vehicle checks, 103 room checks, 2,300 locker checks and 1,700 bag and personal article checks. Idgie alerted seven times with drugs found, and altered 18 times were drugs were not found but students confirmed that had been drugs.
Besides her drug dog duties, Idgie also performed 125 demonstrations and public appearances.
