CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two new K-9 deputies will be joining the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office in the Field Operations Division and another is being partnered with a new handler.
K-9s Sly and Eros will be taking over duties from three K-9s that have retired, while Deputy Tuomey, will become K-9 Aggie’s new handler.
Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office said these K-9s are patrol and narcotics deputies that have been trained to track and apprehend.
"Our deputies attend a six-week handler’s course where they’re able to bond with the K-9s and learn how to read their body language to better operate in the field," the sheriff's office said.
