K9 Hank gave News4 a first person point of view of the “Hogan’s Alley” drill.
K9 Commander with the Dothan Police Department, Lieutenant Wozniak, said, “For these guys to pick their dogs up on a down dog scenario, and have to step over chairs and go over barricades, not just one but three of them, says a lot for the training these guys are doing, and how the dogs accept being picked up and on a chair and stepped over a barricade.”
This is the DPD’s 27-year hosting the K9 seminar and they credit it’s success to the community. “They have really stepped up, over my 24 years in the agency,” said Wozniak, “allowing us to use their vacant buildings and properties, so we owe a lot to the business owners in Dothan.” This year, 71 K9 handler teams participated in the training. Wozniak was proud to see progress in his officers from years past. “When we see the guys that were here five years ago and the issues that they were having five years ago and to now see where they are at five years later and do see how they’ve grown and how the dogs have grown and matured.”
