Happy 25 years and many more! Detector dogs on duty Colonel Ronald M. Sharpe, Commissioner, Pennsylvania ~ State Police, has announced the completion of training for three Narcotic Detector dogs which are now assigned to the field and available for assignments. ~The dogs have been trained to detect marijuana, cocaine and heroin under a variety of condi- tions. Colonel Sharpe noted, ‘“The dogs were donated to the State Police by citizens who wanted to make a contribution to our war against drug traffickers. The animals were presented for nec- essary traits and were selected from a field of 51 dogs. The breeds are Labrador Retriev- ers, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and Weimaraner. All are high ‘quality purebred dogs. During training, a dog’s natural scent- ing ability, retrieving instincts and desire to please a master, are channeled into behavior pat- terns that will reliably indicate the presence of narcotics.” The training was conducted by Cpl. Charles A. McCreary, State Police Academy, Hershey; Cpl. Leonard Maharowski, Troop “B”, Pittsburgh and Tpr. Rich- ard Marsilli, Troop “N”’, Swif- twater. The officers were selected for their skills, knowl- edge and training of dogs. The handlers have a combined 60 years of canine experience, including combat dog service in Vietnam, American Kennel Club exhibitions, training and profes- ‘sional grooming. : Welcome The recent arrival of the newest member of your household is the perfect ie to arrange for a WELCOME WAGON ca I'm your WELCOME WAGON repre- sentative and my basket is full of free gifts for the family.

The Commissioner explained, “The dogs and handlers will provide a support function to all levels of law enforcement, state and local, including State Police Strike Force operations, Troop Vice Operations, Liquor Control Enforcements raids where nar- cotics trade is suspected, prison, school and institutional searches.” There are currently three more dogs in training and the State Police is recruiting high quality dogs for expansion of the program. Dogs should be purebred, of the sporting or working class, and should be males between the ages of one and three years. Colonel Sharpe concluded, “The three dogs now in use were trained utilizing funds from the State Police budget. All future training will be funded through the Pennsyl- vania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. With the federal funds, the State Police will be able to have a dog and handler assigned to each of our 15 troops around the state. This will pro- vide the State Police with an effective and efficient tool to combat the drug abuse problem. It’s expected to take two years to phase in the entire program.” ; Groundhogs? Hogwash!
