Welcome Jax and Eddie

The SCSO is pleased to introduce two new K-9 teams: Deputy Adam Johnson with Jax and Deputy Matt Mayers with Eddie.  Jax and Eddie are Certified Narcotic Detector Dogs.  Their breed is Shepherd Belgian Malinois and they came from Czechoslovakia.  Both dogs are between 1 and 2 years old, and will probably have a 6-9 year service life. 

New K9 Teams

For several years now, Stearns County's K-9 unit has had Bloodhound teams, used for tracking missing persons and suspects.  Currently Aspen is partnered with Deputy Eric Schultz and Freddie with Laura McLaughlin. 

Because illegal drug activity continues to be a problem in the area, there is a need for narcotic detector dogs as well.  Jax and Eddie have already been responsible for several drug seizures and arrests. 

Deputy Aspen
