PETAL, Miss. (WDAM) - More than 40 police canine teams from across the southeast are in Forrest County this weekend to take part in a required certification event, thatâs being hosted for the first time by the Petal School District Police Department.
The Region 26 Narcotics & PD1 Certification for the United States Police K-9 Association began Saturday.
Teams from Mississippi, Georgia and Texas are participating.
âWeâve got one of the bigger trials weâve had in a long time this year,â said Chris Picou, president of Region 26 of the USPCA. âSo, weâve got 30 detector dogs, weâve got another 12 cadaver dogs, so 42 altogether and I think on the patrol part, weâve got 17 or 18 dogs certifying in that event.â
