Week #8 with new green dogs

Last week K9 Frankie located a fi***rm that was discarded in a backyard after a shooting. K9 Frankie is trained to detect fi***rms, am******on, and spent shell casings. The fi***rm was equipped with a switch making it an automatic gun. Thanks to Frankie’s hard work, an illegal gun was taken off the street. Great work Frankie!

Ramsey County Sheriffs Office K-9 Tater had a nice find recently. One pound of fentanyl and a fi***rm were located. Suspect arrested was prohibited for possessing a fi***rm. Can’t give details but this was a super nice find for a super good dog.

Bemidji PD K-9 Doc was not going to be outgunned by Falco. The Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force was on the tail of suspected narcotics users/dealers. Hubbard County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a traffic stop on the suspect’s vehicle. After RAS was obtained, K-9 Doc was deployed to sniff the vehicle for illegal narcotics. Doc alerted to the vehicle and nearly 1 pound of m**h was located. Great job guys. Iggy would be proud of his brother!

Mille Lacs Tribal PD K-9 Falco had a nice find recently. Officers had reasonable suspicion that there were illegal narcotics in a vehicle at the Grand Casino Mille Lacs parking lot. K-9 Falco was deployed on a sniff of the vehicle and alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics. A search revealed over 4.5 ounces of m**h under the drivers seat. One adult male went to jail and Falco got tons of praise and a Pup cup! Great job guys.

Sadly, 2 more dogs were killed while inside a vehicle who’s air conditioning failed. They were inside a newer Chev Suburban at a K-9 certification a few days ago. The outdoor temperature was 100 degrees or better. For some reason Chevrolet has their engines programmed to shut down after a given amount of time. 15 minutes for some, 30 minutes for other vehicles. Great idea Chevy! The handler knew about this and “thought” that he did an override of the shutdown. So, the dogs were left in the Suburban and yup, the engine shut down as did the A/C and the dogs died. Come on now! Handlers are responsible for the health and life of their dogs. Stop relying on a mechanical solution (A/C) to keep your dogs alive. Handlers must keep the rear windows down AND check on their dogs regularly during these super hot days. Failed equipment does not kill dogs any more than guns kill people or cars drive drunk. No excuses. Be smart. Check on your dogs, get a fan, get a heat alarm, and keep the rear windows down. Own it!

Hennepin County Sheriff’s K-9 Iggy had another huge find. The West Metro DTF executed a search warrant at a Minneapolis residence on April 29th. The search netted multiple fi***rms, over $5000 in cash, and roughly 4.5 pounds of powder fentanyl. A 28 year old man has been charged with multiple felonies. Super job Iggy and all of the detectives with the DTF.
