Most of these arrest was made possible by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit Mako and handler Deputy Andy Brown and Jogi and handler Deputy Duck Jones. Mako and Jogi have been a great addition to the DeKalb Drug and Major Crimes Unit and DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, they have helped make so many drug arrest. Mako is about 7 years old and due to health reason we will have to retire him really soon. Jogi is about 6 years old and we will have to retire him in about a year.

Sheriff Harris says “this was a busy week and a lot of these arrest came from traffic stops where the K-9’s were called to assist. We are already in the process of replacing Mako, these dogs are usually around $8,500 to $10,000 to purchase the dog and its handlers training with the dog. These dogs are a valuable asset to the Sheriff’s Office. The K-9’s also assist the cities and other counties when we are called upon. We also have an arson dog that has been a valuable asset to counties all over North Alabama. Myself and Etowah County Todd Entrekin purchased this K-9 named Andy for the Alabama State Fire Marshal’s Office. His handler is Deputy Fire Marshal Ray Cumby.”
