Lakeland Police K-9 Unit Makes History Again

The Lakeland Police Department’s K-9 Unit recently hosted and participated in the USPCA National Detector Dog Trials. The event ran from May 20^th through May 23^rd and is designed to test the discipline of the detection ability for each competing K-9. Fifty seven teams from all over the nation came to this event and over a two day competition showcased their abilities in Narcotics and Ordinance (bomb) detection.

In February of this year, the members of the Lakeland Police K-9 Unit made Regional history with the first time that department teams won both first and second place at the Regional Patrol Dog Trials.

The K-9 Unit made history again this week, this time at the national level by securing the top three places in the department teams for Narcotics Detection.

1^st place team for 2012, Sergeant Tye Thompson, K-9 “Harris” and Officer Jose Bosque, K-9 “Bronko”

2^nd place for 2012, Officer Aaron Peterman, K-9 “Charief” and Officer Rob Manrow, K-9 “Qanto”

3^rd place for 2012, Officer Jeff Barrett, K-9 “Echo” and Officer Ted Sealy, K-9 “Bruno”

Overall Individual Narcotics Detection Phase:

   Officer Jeff Barrett and K-9 “Echo”, 2^nd place

   Officer Jose Bosque and K-9 “Bronko” 5^th place

   Officer Rob Manrow and K-9 “Qanto” 6^th place

   Sergeant Tye Thompson and K-9 “Harris” 8^th place

   Officer Aaron Peterman and K-9 “Charief” 11^th place

   Officer Ryan Back and K-9 “Remy” 19^th place

Exterior Narcotics Detection Phase (vehicles):

   Officer Ryan Back and K-9 “Remy” 3^rd place

Interior Narcotics Detection Phase (rooms):

   Officer Jeff Barrett and K-9 “Echo” 4^th place

These accomplishments were made especially difficult on our K-9 teams by the fact that they were assisting in the logistical issues of facilitating this event, as well as training for, and ultimately competing in the trial.

The Lakeland Police Department is very proud of all the officers who represent our department not only in competitions, but day to day in their regular duties protecting our community. To become this proficient at their jobs at this level requires dedication and commitment to excellence.

GREAT WORK K-9 UNIT!!!!!!!
