The Miller County Sheriff’s Office proudly introduces its newest addition to the law enforcement team: K9 Jett, a Dutch Shepherd/Malinois mix, partnered with Deputy Shane Johnston. After completing an intensive 8-week K9 handler course in Hattiesburg, Miss., Deputy Johnston and Jett are now certified in narcotics detection, suspect tracking, and handler protection. Sheriff Wayne Easley commends their successful patrols, including drug discoveries and search warrant assistance, emphasizing Jett’s immediate impact.
This marks the first K9 unit for the Sheriff’s Office since 2010, made possible through generous donations from organizations like the ArkLaTex 100 Club and the United States Police Canine Association, as well as support from private donors for equipment and supplies.
