This shift was only K9 Kilo and Canine Handler Officer Brunner’s third duty shift since graduating from K9 training on May 22. Kilo has already had two successful narcotics deployments, resulting in two arrests for methamphetamine within those three duty shifts. Great job to the Cumberland Officers and Kilo! Also thank you to the Barron County Sheriff’s Office for assisting with this incident.
