K-9 Hannah is ready for duty at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - There is a new addition to the ranks of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. A new K-9 is ready for duty.After completing five weeks of training, K-9 Hannah now begins duty with her handler, Cpl. Derrick Riego.Hannah is an 18-month-old German shorthaired pointer. What is so unique about Hannah is she’s a gun dog. The sheriff’s office says she is one of the first in the state. Her job is to sniff out guns and ammunition.
Sheriff Derrick Cunningham said Hannah is going to be a tremendous asset in the fight against violent crime in Montgomery County. He says a recent incident showed how great the need was for this type of K-9. The sheriff gave an example of the need for this type of dog by describing how it took deputies days to find a gun that was thrown on the side of the road by a suspect.“We had to make sure that we’re taking care of our public. So now when you go into an event, we’re going to be checking,” said Cunningham.
