POLICE <br />218 - 568 -8111 <br />Fax 218 - 568 -5647 <br />plpd @pequotlakes - mn.gov <br />April 6, 2010 <br />Mayor and City Council Members; <br />QEOpUO <br />il1'w I <br />'my✓N <br />JERRY BRAAM <br />Chief of Police <br />4638 County Road 11 <br />Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br />I forgot to include in my monthly report the re- certification training that Officer Gartner <br />and K9 Shadow attended 2 weekends ago in New Ulm. <br />Josh and Shadow took 2 "d overall in the "in- door" search category and received a nice <br />trophy for their efforts. There was a total of 63 dogs re- certifying from around Mn. <br />The certification has two parts to it, one is the in -door search and the other is an out -door <br />search. The dogs and officer are scored in many areas from "narcotic finds" to how the <br />dog responds to the officers commands as well as how long it takes the dog to find all the <br />narcotic hides. <br />Out of a possible score of 200 points, Gartner and Shadow received 196 points. This <br />placed them 57th out of 63 teams. <br />From having competed in these kinds of competitions /re- certifications over the years, I <br />can tell you that this score is quite an accomplishment. <br />Their scores are as follow: <br />Indoor Search 97.33 pts Time of 3:24 Allotted time was 10:00 minutes <br />Outdoor Search 98.67 pts Time of 4:45 Allotted time was 10:00 minutes <br />C>1 _>_ <br />
