K9 Ox is ready to hit the road, Good luck to Ox and his partner, Officer Jacobs

K9 Ox and his partner Officer Jacobs have passed their 10-week, 400-hour long training, exceeding standards set by the department and the Oregon Police Canine Association.

The duo can now:

• Track and locate persons that have fled on foot from crime scenes,
• Back up other officers on alarm calls,
• Search buildings for hiding suspects,
• Locate lost or missing persons,
• And conduct security checks of our parks, neighborhoods, and businesses.

When not doing those tasks, Ox will be spending time on community outreach projects and demonstrations for school children, community groups, and other events like National Night Out.

Officer Jacobs and K9 Ox will be recertified each year going forward to ensure they stay proficient and above standards.
