K9 Unit
Missoula County Sheriff's Office currently has two K9 Officers and handlers. K9 Officer Xander is partnered with K9 handler, Deputy Uriarte. K9 Officer Django is partnered with K9 handler, Deputy Cross.
Deputy Uriarte and K9 Officer Xander
Xander is a dual purpose K9, trained in narcotic detection (methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl) and patrol work (apprehension, tracking, evidence search, building search, and area searches).
Deputy Cross and K9 Officer Django
Django is a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix
He is a dual purpose K9, trained in narcotic detection (methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl) and patrol work (apprehension, tracking, evidence search, building search, and area searches).
We are always looking for training opportunities for our K9 Officers. The current need comes in the form of business/commercial buildings that do not operate in the evening hours and would allow access by Missoula County Sheriff's Office K9 handlers. This would also ensure your facility had additional patrols and a law enforcement presence. A great deterrent!
If you are willing to allow the use of your business/building or have additional questions, please call our customer service desk at 406-258-4810 and our receptionist will relay your contact information to our K9 handlers.
