Meet Ardie: Worcester County's New Explosives Detection K9 Keeping Our Community Safe!
The Worcester County Sheriff's Office is excited to announce the newest addition to their law enforcement team: an explosives detection K9 named Ardie. Ardie is a 1.5-year-old German Shepherd, from Hungary, specially trained to alert on explosive devices.
After careful consideration, Sheriff Matthew Crisafulli has selected Deputy Sheriff First Class Kenji Hara as Ardie’s handler. DFC Hara, currently assigned to Patrol Division, will work with and integrate Ardie into his job responsibilities, including the scanning of schools, public buildings, and numerous event venues in Worcester County and surrounding areas. DFC Hara and Ardie recently completed a 6-week explosive canine handler’s course in Anderson, South Carolina.
"Ardie is a remarkable dog, and we are confident that he will be a vital tool in our efforts to keep our community safe", said Sheriff Crisafulli.
