Congrats to the members of our K-9 unit for their performance at the K-9 Field Trials held this past week hosted by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A field of nearly 70 police dogs from Florida, Georgia, and Alabama certified and competed in the week-long event. Although nearly half of our team are still considered new to the unit, with just over a year on the team, they did great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
