The Douglas County Sheriff's Office Dive Search and Rescue Team along with several other agencies from MN conducted a 3-day Dive Rescue 1 training in Alexandria provided by Dive Rescue International. This 3-day training include classroom lecture where students learn the techniques and technical approaches for rescues and recoveries. They also practiced skills training in a pool environment located at the YMCA. Finally, the students were presented with different dive rescue and evidence recovery situations in a real-world lake environment in Lake Ida at Pilgrim Point Park. We would like to thank the Dive Rescue International Instructors, attending agencies, and the YMCA for their assistance in allowing this training to happen. Because of your support, the Douglas County Dive Search and Rescue Team is prepared and ready to serve the community of Douglas County.

Today we celebrate the retirement of K9 Hunter after seven years of dedicated service with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Since joining the team in 2019, K9 Hunter and his handler, Sergeant Ben Jarvi, have served our community with professionalism and excellence. Beyond his work in law enforcement, K9 Hunter was a community favorite, bringing smiles to countless children and adults through public demonstrations and outreach events.

Thank you, K9 Hunter, for your unwavering loyalty, courage, and service. Enjoy your retirement—you've certainly earned it! 🐾💙
