Drug-sniffing dog joins Douglas County ranks
Allie a two year old Labrador retriever recently finished five months of training and joined the Douglas County Sheriff department as a narcotics dog. In March she passed tests in Springfield Missouri earning certification as a drug and suspect tracker. Deputy Steve Brown trained her and she is already on duty tracking a man who led officers on a chase and fled into a field near Stull Road. Brown says Allie indicates finds by passive alert. Sheriff Loren Anderson praised her progress noting it may have come sooner than expected. Allie also assists Brown in the D A R E program visiting area schools while living with the Brown family.
