The Scott County Sheriff’s Office has a new K-9 deputy named, “Karma”. The 3-year old Belgian Malinois was born in Hungary and is certified in narcotics detection through NNDDA (National Narcotics Detection Dog Association). She and her handler Scott County Deputy, Charlie Morgan, recently graduated from the Houston, Texas K-9 Academy.
“Karma was gifted to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Scott County by the non-profit organization named, K9 Officers after First Sergeant Morgan applied for grant,” said Scott County Sheriff Jerry Goodin.
K9 Officers is a non-profit organization providing dogs and dog handler training and equipment to local law enforcement agencies across the United States.
“Karma is valued at over $10,000 and the training was valued at $5,000 but because of the gift by K9 Officers, these items cost Scott County Taxpayers nothing,” said the sheriff.
“Karma not only helps us in the continued fight against drugs but also adds another tool for the safety of Scott County citizens,” said the sheriff.
Karma is now on duty and daily patrol with her handler First Sergeant Charlie Morgan, Goodin said
