It didn't take long for K9 Bruce to make his first drug-related arrest for the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Robert Burby says Deputy J. Nash and K9 Bruce completed training on February 3rd at LAK9 in Abbeville, Louisiana. This was a four week training session that consisted of drug location, tracking, and article searching.
According to Burby, K9 Bruce preformed all of his training assignments in a timely and highly efficient manner. Deputy Nash and K9 Bruce reported to duty this past weekend and already have made two drug-related arrests.
Deputy Nash and K9 Bruce are considered a team because K9 Bruce is Patrol Certified to assist Deputy Nash as back-up if needed.
Sheriff Robert Burby said "We look forward to the contributions this team will make to the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Newton County. Congratulations on a job well done!"
