Sheriff's Office K-9 goes back to school

On Wednesday, St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Capt. Chris Veillion and K-9 Deputy Blake Giroir were training with K-9 Duko on narcotics detection at the Morgan City Branch Office as a part of their weekly training. Sheriff Blaise Smith sent Veillion to training last year to become a "Master K9 Trainer" as an important step in taking the K-9 division to a new level.
According to Veillion, the K-9s and their handlers train on a weekly basis with two main training sessions: a group training session with all K-9s and handlers, and a separate individual training session for each K-9 and their respective handler.
