Thank you so much to the K9 deputies, Deputy Haun, Deputy Patterson, K9 Beau and K9 Jedi who came out to visit our 1st graders! The students loved learning how K9s work, seeing their skills in action, and meeting these amazing four-legged officers. It was such a fun and educational experience, and we’re so grateful for the time you spent with our kids. Thank you for all you do to keep our community safe!
