Morrow County Sheriff's Office

Recently, the Morrow County Sheriff's Office K-9 Team—Patrol Deputy/Handler Colleen Neubert and K-9 Telly—celebrated their 75th live find, capture, or suspect surrender.

Our K-9 team proudly serves Morrow County and regularly assists neighboring law enforcement agencies when requested. Their 75th live find came while assisting the Oregon State Police following a crash. The driver fled the scene on foot, and our K-9 team responded to help locate the suspect. Working alongside the Oregon State Police and the Boardman Fire Department Drone Team, K-9 Telly successfully tracked the suspect, who was safely taken into custody.

"Congratulations to Deputy Neubert and K-9 Telly on this milestone and for their continued dedication to serving Morrow County and keeping our communities safe." Sheriff Bowles
