Vernon County Sheriff's Department Now Has a "Human remains/Cadaver" Dog Team

 


The Vernon County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce that Jeanne Buehler and Franklin her K9 sidekick  have successfully obtained their certification as a human remains / cadaver dog team. Jeanne and Franklin have worked for approximately 2 years to obtain this certification. All of Franklin's training and certifications along with Jeanne's handling abilities are solely volunteer.

The hope of the Vernon County Sheriff is to never have to use this tool but have it in their tool box when they need it. Franklin and Jeanne are part of MOSAR" Missouri Search and Rescue" out of the Kansas City area and are dispatched all over to perform this task when needs be. K-9 Franklin is also a certified first responder therapy dog among his many accolades.

The Sheriff took the time to give a shout out to Jeanne for all of her hard work, dedication, and volunteer hours to achieve these accomplishments.
