THE SUMMIT COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ALSO HAS SOME VERY SPECIAL DEPUTIES.  THESE DEPUTIES HAVE FOUR LEGS!  THESE DEPUTIES ARE DOGS!  YES A DOG CAN BE A DEPUTY TOO!  A DOG AND ITS HUMAN PARTNER IS CALLED A K-9 UNIT.

A K-9 UNIT IS THE LAST THING A CRIMINAL WANTS TO SEE IF THEY ARE RUNNING AWAY OR HIDING. THESE DOGS CAN FIND BOMBS, DRUGS, AND MISSING PERSONS.  THEY ALSO HELP PROTECT THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE WHO VISIT SUMMIT COUNTY.  OUR K-9 UNITS ARE RECOGNIZED AS SOME OF THE BEST IN THE UNITED STATES.  THEY ARE SO GOOD, THEY ASSIST IN THE TRAINING OF OTHER K-9 UNITS THROUGHOUT OHIO.

THESE DEDICATED DEPUTIES ALSO STOP BY SCHOOLS AND OTHER PLACES FOR FRIENDLY VISITS.  MAYBE THEY WILL VISIT YOU SOMETIME.
