Local Fayette County Country Financial Insurance agents pooled their donation together to provide the funding for a new K9 for the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. Country Financial Agents Kirk Doehring, Jordan Mahon and Scott Sporleder have jointly donated $3,750 towards the purchase of a dual purpose K9. The Sheriff’s Office has purchased “K9 Zero” who is a male German Shepard who is originally from Slovakia. His purchase was from Top Dogs Police K9 Academy in Evansville, Indiana.
Meanwhile, K9 Zero is currently participating in the K9 Academy in Charleston, Illinois with his handler, Fayette County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Brock Rich. They are training in narcotics detection, tracking, article searches, and suspect apprehension. The training is wrapping and the K9 team will begin their patrol. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office says Fayette County’s K9’s have proven themselves as assets with previous K9’s Phantom, Tex and currently Thor.
