Mille Lacs Tribal PD K-9 Layka had a super find the other night. Traffic stop was made near a Federal Prison in MN. RAS was developed to run the dog for dope. K-9 Layka alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics. Search located some pipes that had recently been used to smoke dope. Big find was over 20 pounds of tightly wrapped cell phones, chargers, vapes, and other paraphernalia commonly smuggled into jails and prisons. Prison officials speculated that the stash would have an estimated value of $105,000 if sold in the prison. Vehicle occupants were booked. Super nice find for Layka. Very cool

Great work by Deputy Weinzierl and his K9 partner Toro! The duo recently recovered a stolen vehicle after it crashed into an occupied car while fleeing police.

After the crash, the masked suspect, Angelo Romel Lipford (18), fled on foot and was apprehended by K9 Toro. A loaded rifle was also recovered from his vehicle. Lipford was arrested for illegally possessing a firearm, fleeing police, receiving/concealing stolen property, and theft.

Davenport PD K-9 Maro had a nice find a couple weeks ago. State Patrol pursued the vehicle into Davenport. Maro did a sniff and alerted to narcotics inside the vehicle. Search netted nearly 1 pound of w**d ( yup, illegal in IA), 4 1/2 ounces of co***ne, 2 1/2 ounces of m**h/MDMA, and a pistol. Super job Maro!

Ramsey County Sheriff’s K-9 Tater had a nice find the other day. The Violent Crime Enforcement Team (VCET) was working a case involving illegal narcotics and weapons possession. ( I am intentionally vague about details). Tater alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics on an apartment door seam. Officers obtained a search warrant and located nearly 1 pound of m**h, an ounce of fentanyl, 2 handguns, and about $9,000 in cash. Super job!

This is an outstanding organization offering a variety of programs to the families of first responders and military personnel. One of those programs is providing a mortgage-free home to the survivors of fallen first responders with young children. There are quite a few of you LEO’s who are making “bank” with all of the overtime that has been available over the last few years. (You guys know exactly what I am talking about). Please take a moment and check out the website at: www.t2t.org. Browse through the programs offered and send that tax deductible donation before the end of the year. Yes, you can afford it! We have been supporting Tunnel To Towers for many years. This year is no different. Please, grab a shot of that expensive bourbon that your OT money has bought for you and go make that selfless donation now.

Not to be outdone by his bigger brother, this guy also patrols the inner walls of a maximum security prison in MN. Anyone inmate who decides to assault staff will quickly wish that he did not get out of bed that day once this K-9 arrives on the scene. Intense? Yup. But as you can see, super social and obedient.

During the day this big guy patrols inside the prison walls where some of Minnesota’s most violent and dangerous criminals are housed. He helps to keep his handler, other staff, and inmates alike safe. What does he do in his off time? Protects his little sister of course!

The 2024 fall patrol/detection class has graduated. Great group of guys and dogs. We had a mix of dual purpose dogs ( and 1 single purpose lab) with a secondary purpose of narcotics or fi****ms detection. After 12 weeks of basic training, these guys are going back to their departments where their newly learned talents will be put to work. Thanks to Skips Photography for the fantastic photos.
