The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office is celebrating a proud achievement as two of its K9 teams delivered standout performances at the recent USPCA Detector Trials.

Police Officer Russell and his K9 partner Galvin placed 3rd overall out of more than 40 teams in explosive detection, competing against some of the top units in the region.

In the narcotics category, Police Officer Colon and K9 Reedy secured 2nd place out of more than 20 teams, showing strong skill and coordination in a competitive field.

The results reflect the hard work, training, and teamwork these handlers and their K9 partners put in every day.

Following their success, both teams will now move on to represent Rockland County at the national detector competition, where they will compete against leading K9 units from across the country.
