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.

Tunnel to Towers is honored to provide a mortgage-free home for the family of Pope County, MN, Deputy Joshua Owen.

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.

Super nice job by Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s K-9 Maverick (Spring 2024 PK graduate) in locating a missing woman who was in distress. Deputies searched for the woman around her home where she was believed to have walked away from. K-9 Maverick picked up on the woman’s scent in a heavily wooded area and eventually located her in great medical distress. The woman was air lifted to Hennepin County Medical Center for emergency treatment. The woman’s current condition is unknown but she is believed to be recovering thanks to some great work by these deputies, medics, and Maverick. Remember this story the next time the subject of “defund the police” is brought up. Keep up the good work guys.

Super job by Officer Kniss and K9 Doc, keep up the good work!

On 7/26/2024 at approximately 1700 hours, Beltrami County Sheriffs Office Deputies responded to Dow Ct SW for a report of a suspicious vehicle in the callers driveway. The caller reported the vehicle had damage to the windows as they appeared to be smashed out with glass inside and outside the vehicle. A male and female were seen walking away from the vehicle.

Beltrami County Deputies responded to the area and after gathering more information, learned that the female who walked away appeared to be very disoriented. A witness reported that the female was laying in the ditch for a short time then began walking in the woods. The male was seen walking away in the opposite direction.

Bemidji Police Officers responded to assist in locating the female as her welfare was unknown. Officer Kniss and K9 Doc were deployed to track the female. After a short track, the female was located by K9 Doc near a residence on Yellowhead Rd SW along the river. The female was identified, assisted out of the woods and after evaluation was brought to a family members home.

The Bemidji Police Department is proud that Officer Kniss and K9 Doc were able to assist in safely locating a person in need. We are grateful for the many donors in our community who continue to give in support of the Bemidji Police Department K9 program.
