Immediately after the bomb threat and alleged terrorist attack at Wildwood Middle School on April 29th of this year, it was decided that the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office needed a bomb dog. Shortly after that decision was made, the local ATF Office offered a Explosive Detection K-9 and handler training to the JCSO. Deputy Aaron Hutcherson was selected to complete the 10 week, no days off, comprehensive training. On Friday, Deputy Hutcherson and K9 Rugby graduated from the ATF National Canine Division Center, Explosive Detection Canine training.
Sheriff Tom Hansen and the entire Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is happy to welcome K-9 Rugby into the JCSO family. K-9 Rugby and Deputy Hutcherson will be an integral asset of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and, when needed, available to agencies within the area. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the Alcohol, To***co and Fi****ms (ATF) division of the Department of Justice for their assistance in making the goal of a Bomb Dog K-9 team for the JCSO a reality.
