District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer congratulates K9s Dixie, Olive and Roxy on their recent completion of course requirements for advancement in Mantrailing.  K9s Dixie and Olive, along with their handler Ruth Mayes, successfully completed the requirements for Advanced Mantrailing by the National Network of Canine Detection Services.  K9 Roxy and her handler Rod Johnson received certification by the National Police Bloodhound Association for Mantrailing to work as a Mantrailing team.

The K9s, part of the Tracking Unit of the County Detectives’ Bureau K9 Unit with the District Attorney’s Office, train throughout the year to keep their skills sharp and are frequently called to assist first responders.  These beautiful K9s, along with their K9 teammates and handlers, are often seen at area events such as the McKean County Fair and National Night Out. 

If you would like a K9 at your event, please contact the District Attorney’s Office at (814) 887-3312.
