2nd Military Police Detachment MWD

10/13/2025

On October 3rd, 2025, the 2nd MP Detachment had the incredible honor of lining up outside the White House to receive a special blessing from a priest. One by one, each handler and their K9 partner were blessed with holy water as the priest offered individual prayers over the teams. It was a humbling experience to be recognized and appreciated for the service we proudly provide to our nation.

Today, we proudly honor the dedicated service of SPC Shamp and SPC Sanchez to the U.S. Army. Through photos of SPC Shamp’s ETS and SPC Sanchez’s PCS, we recognize their commitment, achievements, and the impact they’ve made during their time here.

Every soldier's journey takes a different path — while SPC Shamp concludes his time in uniform and transitions to civilian life, SPC Sanchez continues his service with the Army in a new assignment. Both represent the strength, dedication, and spirit of a soldier moving forward to greater opportunities.

As part of the Fort Meade Kennels, we are honored to have served alongside them, supporting their growth and success. We salute them both as they move on to the next chapter of their journeys. Go Army!

Heat Safety PSA:

For You and Your Dog
If you’re working or spending time outside during a heat wave, stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and take frequent breaks in the shade. For your dog, avoid hot pavement, provide plenty of water, and limit activity to early mornings or late evenings. Heatstroke can affect both humans and animals stay alert, stay cool, and stay safe.

🐶 Quick Heat Check for Dogs:
•Heavy Panting: Faster, louder, or more intense than usual? Red flag.
•Lethargy: Is your dog unusually tired, weak, or not responding like normal?
•Drooling: Thick, excessive drool can be a sign of overheating.
•Gums & Tongue: Bright red, dark red, or even pale/gray gums? That’s not normal—get help.
•Vomiting or Diarrhea: Especially if it’s sudden or paired with weakness.
•Unsteady Walking or Collapse: This could mean heatstroke act fast.

If you see any of these, move your dog to a cool area, offer small sips of water, and wet their paws or belly with cool (not icy) water. Then contact a vet immediately—heatstroke moves fast.

This week, we made significant strides in enhancing our readiness and teamwork.

We conducted a live fire range that ensured our operational effectiveness and readiness. Our Military Working Dogs also participated in this critical training, allowing them to gain invaluable live fire exposure. This training not only sharpens our skills but also reinforces the bond and teamwork between handlers and their dogs, which is vital for successful mission ex*****on.

We had the honor of hosting Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks for a walkthrough of our kennels, where we provided a briefing and demonstration of our organization. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work and the indispensable role our Military Working Dogs play in our operations.

In addition, we collaborated with to host an essential training event focused on responding to bomb threats. This training reinforced our ability to react swiftly and efficiently in high-stakes situations, ensuring the safety of our personnel and the public.

Furthermore, we conducted specialized training with our Bomb Technician, which significantly enhanced our knowledge and expertise as handlers. This training is crucial in keeping us prepared for any explosive-related incidents we may encounter and reinforces our commitment to safety and response readiness.

Each of these training initiatives and events is vital for maintaining our operational readiness and ensuring the safety of our communities. Together, we are building a stronger, more capable team that is always ready to serve!
