Before our friends at Adventure Island drained their pools for the season, they invited the TPD K-9 team along with Clearwater Police Department, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Hernando County Sheriff's Office and the Air Force K-9 teams for some water training. With all of the water around Tampa Bay, it is not unusual for officers and their K-9 partners to search for criminals and missing persons around ponds, lakes, rivers and the bay. Water poses a unique challenge for K-9s if they aren’t exposed to it. The officers and their four legged partners spent the day training in different water scenarios such as tracking a suspect through water and catching the “bad guy." It is important for law enforcement K-9s to receive exposure to different environments so that when they are put in a real life situation, it isn’t their first time.
I haven't stopped by for a while -- Blu is growing up! It was very nice of Adventure Island to open their doors to you and surrounding LE agencies. Born in Plant City and raised in Tampa, I moved to Charlotte, NC 28 years ago, so hearing the name 'Adventure Island' sure brought back a few memories. Keep up the good work! You continue to make this former Tampa girl proud as I follow you on Facebook and chime in on a few stories -- always supporting you 100%.
