🐾 Congratulations to Officer Joyce, K9 Bandit, Officer Longinott, and K9 Ocho! 🏆
The Town of Newburgh Police Department K9 Unit recently competed in the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) Region 7 Tracking Trials, with both teams earning impressive finishes!
🥇 Officer Joyce and K9 Bandit earned 1st Place Overall, achieving a perfect score of 180/180 points while competing against 16 K9 teams from across the region!
🏅 Officer Longinott and K9 Ocho earned 4th Place Overall, finishing with an outstanding score of 178/180 points!
USPCA Region 7 brings together police K9 teams from across New York and Connecticut to demonstrate the exceptional skills, teamwork, and dedication required of today’s police K9 units.
Tracking trials test a K9 team’s ability to follow human scent along a designated path while locating multiple scent-bearing articles placed throughout the track, ultimately leading to a final article. These skills are essential in real-world law enforcement operations, including locating suspects, missing persons, and evidence.
These outstanding performances reflect the countless hours of training, dedication, and strong partnerships between our officers and their K9 partners.
Congratulations to both teams on their outstanding accomplishments and for representing the Town of Newburgh Police Department! 🐾
