K9 Riggs of the Auburn Massachusetts Fire Rescue Department assisted with locating a drowning victim in a recent boating accident. After first responders searched the pond for several hours on Thursday, divers returned to the water Friday morning with K9 Riggs, a specialized search dog. Riggs is trained to look for human remains and can even scent them in the water. Riggs hit on an area that divers focused on, and a short time later the victim was found in about 18 feet of water by Deputy Chief Glenn Johnson, a diver from the Worcester Fire Department. Great work K9 Riggs! Our thoughts and condolences go out to the victim’s family 💙 https://www.wcvb.com/amp/article/missing-auburn-boater-found-body/34074312

Sandy has been a hardworking and vital team member to the LCSO for nearly 8 years. From tracking robbery suspects to trailing missing children, Sandy was proven to be invaluable time and time again. She will reside with her handler, Investigator Haupfear. We wish them well and thank her for her service.
K9 Missile, a two year old Belgian Malinois from the Chilton County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Response/Special Ops. Unit is recovering from a gunshot wound suffered while tracking down a suspect who law enforcement said fired at officers in Thorsby. The veterinarian who treated the two-year old Belgian Malinois told Chilton Sheriff’s authorities if the bullet had been a half inch deeper into his chest it would have killed him. He’s expected to recover. The suspect was later killed and the incident is under investigation. Photo source: Chilton County Sheriff’s Office, AL

A Happy Ending for Tuscon PD and K9 Tango Last week the TPD SWAT team and their K9 unit were called in to arrest an armed criminal. As the officers approached, the suspect ran. K9 Tango was sent after the suspect who drew a firearm and shot multiple rounds at the officers and K9 Tango. K9 Tango was struck but continued in his pursuit. The suspect was captured and K9 Tango was rushed to the veterinarian. Due to the courage of K9 Tango, no officers were injured while arresting this obviously violent criminal. K9 Tango is expected to make a full recovery and return to full duty in a couple of weeks. Way to go Tango!!
