AMITY CRIME WATCH HOLDS
ANNUAL PICNIC




BERKS COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT K-9 CORPS AT
CRIME WATCH
A
bomb sniffing dog and a drug
sniffing dog were the
featured attractions at the
July Meeting of Amity
Township Crime Watch.
They and their handlers are
part of the Berks County
Sheriff's Department K-9
Corps. Crime Watch
members and local citizens
watched the dogs sniff out
contraband or other
dangerous materials.
Both dogs did a
demonstration attack on our
Chief of Police,
Kent
A. Shuebrook, who has
previously worked with
police dogs in solving
crimes. These dogs and
their handlers are highly
trained. The are a
team that is virtually
together on and off the job.
The dogs when "not on duty"
live with the handler and
the handlers family.
When "on duty" they are
available for use by various
authorities throughout Berks
County and are a key
component in local crime
solving. Crime Watch
thanks Sheriff Eric J.
Weaknecht and his department
for the demonstration.
They are available for other
presentations to community
groups but arrangements
should be made through the
sheriff's department.
