    I also went Thursday night and was really blown away by these dogs and the training they have to go thru. I had a great time and was glad to see our tax dollars well spent, good job to the dogs & their handlers.It was really educational for me & my wife & daughter that went.

    I went and saw these K9s and their handlers Thursday night at Woodham Middle School, I have to say it was an amazing experience to see how the K9s are so well trained and obidant. The officers themselves put on a couple of senarios to show how they handled some situations and explained how and why the K9s do or do not attack. Congratulations to all the K9s and their handlers and keep up the work that you do and the sacrifices you all do day to day to make this county a better place.
