[Vision2020] RE: Sheriff's Office News

[Jennifer McFarland]

Mr. London,
Thank you for your inquiry.  I do not have all of the information right this
moment, but I will find out what I can and get back to you and all of V2020.
Off the cuff, I do know that most County schools use the services of a
private company to sniff-out (so to speak) drugs in students' lockers.  I've
visited the schools a few times during these incidents and have been rather
impressed with how the K9s operate and think it would be simply grand if
LCSO could provide these services.  We currently have at least two deputies
researching and working on grant ideas regarding the use of dogs.  I will
touch base with them on their progress and respond to you all.

As a side note to all--please call me Jennifer--no need for the formality
and distance that my title creates.

--Jennifer

Det. McFarland:
I am glad to see the sheriff's office reaching out to the public, including
using V2020 to share this information I have a question or two about
drug-sniffing dogs. I recall reading that the sheriff wanted to buy a drug
dog ffor use in this county.  How much do those dogs cost and what is their
annual upkeep? Does Latah County have access to regional drug dogs? How
effective are drug dogs? thanks BL
