“The launch of this K9 program marks a significant milestone in our efforts to enhance public safety and protect our natural resources,” said WVDNR Director Brett McMillion. “We’re excited to welcome these canines to the force and we’re grateful to Gov. Justice for getting behind this program and for his continued support of West Virginia’s beautiful natural resources.”
WVDNR Police officers who will serve as handlers will receive extensive training in the coming months. For more information about the WVDNR Police, visit WVdnr.gov/law-enforcement.
