Grand Chute, Clintonville Adding K9 Police Units
officer miller
Grand Chute and Clintonville will soon have a more versatile police force as their police departments prepare to introduce K9 units to their patrol divisions.
Last November when a Fox Communities Credit Union in Grand Chute was robbed, the robbers fled on foot and have yet to be caught.
With a police canine at the time, Grand Chute had to call another agency for help. Although that dog arrived within a half hour, it was too late to track the scent.
If Grand Chute had a dog on duty, police say it would’ve been there within three minutes, significantly upping the chances of catching suspects.

Collaring a new breed of police dog
I don’t know how good they are for police dogs, but these pups are gorgeous!
————-
The puppies jostled for position, gnawing on one another’s tails and rolling in the grass of the outdoor pen. The two Los Angeles policemen watched them with the cool calculation they might give suspects in a crime lineup.

Officer Jeff Miller dangled a ball on a string to see if one of the seven dogs would bite — chase a would-be prey and pass the test.
“The white female,” he said to his partner, Sgt. Doug Roller, without taking his gaze from the animal. “That one likes the ball.”
The K-9 officers had come to Asia in search of a new breed of partner. Veteran dog trainers in the LAPD’s Metropolitan Division, they brought a combined 50 years’ experience in assessing animals that become a police officer’s most-trusted ally.

South Valley’s top dogs
Porterville police officers Cody Dean and Gary Miller know how to handle their Belgian malinois.
Having earned seven trophies at the Second Annual South Valley K9 trials earlier this month, they were distinguished as the “Top Team” for accumulating the highest combined score in such tests as agility, area search and protection. They, along with their sharp-nosed pooches Dodge and Seven, were stacked against tough competition — 22 law enforcement agencies as large as the Fresno and Bakersfield police departments.
“For them to do as well as they did, compared to the larger agencies, it’s very impressive,” Sgt. Brian Nix, who leads the local K9 unit said. “I’m very proud of them.”

K-9 Officer’s Bite Definitely Worse Than its Bark
Running, jumping, playing and tracking down criminals are all in a days work for one police officer in Upshur County.
Four year-old Wyatt joined the Upshur County Sheriff’s Department in May of 2008. “First week he was on the road, he found about 1lb of marijuana in the engine compartment of a vehicle,” says Sheriff Virgil Miller.
Since then he’s helped them track down criminals and sniff out drugs alongside Sgt. Marshall Powers, “we were at the training facility for two weeks, he was already trained prior to that, but this was to introduce me to the training, and then I’ve trained weekly with him, since then,” says Sgt. Powers.

Seven year old joins SWAT Team
Officer Jason Armstrong
The Norfolk Police Department welcomed a new member to the SWAT Team on Friday, and he is only 7-years-old.
With help from a local advocacy group known as the ROC SOLID Foundation, 7-year-old Hayden Miller, who is battling cancer, went out and struck a deal with Norfolk police.
“Our primary goal and our primary outreach is to give positive change and hope to children dealing with pediatric cancer,” said Eric Newman of the ROC SOLID Foundation.
“He’s gone through a heck of a lot more than any of us will ever go through,” said Jason Armstrong from the Norfolk Police Department.
Armstrong was the first to answer the call from ROC SOLID. He said this request was a natural fit for the SWAT TEAM.
“He kind of characterized the spirit of what we believe in. Team and Loyalty,” said Armstrong.
