Since mid-2017, the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office has been seeking opportunities to restore our once robust K-9 Program. In prior years (2009) the Sheriff’s Office had three (3) K-9 “deputies” with handlers. These K-9s operated as patrol force multipliers, were trained in arson/explosive detection, drug detection, and had the ability to track suspects and safely search buildings or open spaces for suspects in hiding.
