Bobbi is trained for patrol duty, tracking and drug detection. Southern Regional Police Chief James Childs stopped on his way out to patrol. He had been a K-9 handler for 10 years. I am very pleased with the both the dog and the handler, Childs said. The district attorney s Drug Task Force is paying half the cost.
Training never ends.
Siggins said he reinforces drug work with Bobbi three or four times a week. They work with the Drug Task Force once a week. They track other cops, borough employees and willing neighborhood residents every other day. They practice building searches with the consent of local business owners. Siggins dreams of another dog in two or three years for officers on other shifts.
