Another Upstate K-9 Police Dog!!!  Congratulations on certifications.

The Hornell Police Department regularly seeks to highlight the accomplishments of its members, and we are perpetually seeking new and more effective ways to make the City of Hornell safer for our community members. 
In December of 2019, we welcomed our newest K9, “Snitch” to our team. Despite the difficult circumstances of the past year, K9 Snitch has been training very dutifully, and has steadily improved in her skills. 
Earlier this spring, K9 Snitch, partnered with her handler, Patrolman Seth Blanchard, she completed two rigorous New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) certifications, as follows: • Tracking • Narcotics Detection (Methamphetamine, Heroin, Cocaine, and MDMA) In addition to this, K9 Snitch has also completed a certification through the National Narcotic Detector Dog Association (NNDDA) for narcotics detection.
We are currently utilizing K9 Snitch for street level narcotics enforcement including, search warrants, vehicle searches, and building searches, and she has already been involved in several productive narcotics arrests. 
Now certified, K9 Snitch will continue to participate in routine training for the duration of her career, and we expect her to continue to excel, in her service to our community. Please join us in congratulating K9 Snitch on her accomplishments.

K-9 Rocky is from Upstate K-9 Massachusetts State Police Troopers Assist Locating Juveniles that Escaped from Taunton DYS Facility On Saturday, around 8:30 p.m., Troop D Communications received calls that five male juveniles escaped from a DYS Facility on the Taunton State Hospital Grounds. Troopers from the K9 Unit, State Police Middleborough Barracks and the Troop D Community Action Team responded, along with Taunton Police. Trooper Jay Vital of the K9 Unit responded to an address where a Taunton officer confronted the group, but they fled on foot. As Trooper Vital emerged from his cruiser, one of the juveniles emerged from nearby bushes and surrendered. Trooper Vital then deployed K9 Rocky at this address with Taunton officers as back up, to look for the four outstanding escapees. Rocky acquired a scent and began tracking into the backyard, over a wall and into an adjacent property. Rocky continued tracking through that yard, through a corn field and then entered the woods where he located a white shirt. Rocky continued tracking through the woods and into the rear of an apartment complex. Rocky then tracked across a street and entered a yard, then showing a strong proximity alert by barking. Trooper Vital, believing one or more of the juveniles was nearby, made K9 commands for them to show themselves. At that time, two of the escapees announced that they were surrendering. They came out from underneath a camper approximately 15 yards away from the K9 team, and were taken into custody. During the track, a fourth juvenile was taken into custody by a perimeter cruiser. A further search by MSP K9’s and Taunton K9 was terminated when information became available that the fifth juvenile had been picked up by a vehicle. Troopers from the Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section took over the investigation, who subsequently located the fifth juvenile in New Bedford later that evening. Nice work by all involved. Pictured here is K9 Rocky.

An operator wanted on warrants fled a motor vehicle stop in Ware. A local witness reported seeing the wanted subject jump a fence running west. The K-9 team arrived; Sergeant Jerry Molet deployed K-9 Fenix and tracked through a property, then into a heavily wooded area.
