K-9 Program
Our vision is to develop and sustain a professional K9 program that delivers a wide range of services to the residents of Trumbull County. Through educational demonstrations in schools, community outreach, searches for missing persons and evidence, tracking violent offenders, and enhancing drug enforcement and detection, we are committed to improving safety and awareness throughout the county.
Thanks to the generous support of Alpha Pack K9, Fur Missile Foundation, Vested Interest in K9, and K9 United, the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office has added three K9 units since Sheriff Wilson took office, all at no cost to the County.
