Murray, Ky.–Murray Police K9 Officer Ringo has been a real asset to the department since completing his training in October of 2020.
Chief Jeff Liles said that K-9 Ringo, along with his handler K-9 Officer Wicker, have been busy at work. “Ringo has been utilized on traffic stops to assist in detecting narcotics in vehicles and to assist other agencies when needed. So far, he has assisted in locating over $1000 worth of narcotics including methamphetamine, marijuana, THC cartridges, drug paraphernalia, and other illegal drugs.”
Liles said that Ringo’s work “has helped lead to multiple arrests for possession of methamphetamine and marijuana as well as for trafficking in other controlled substances. We are very excited about the work K-9 Ringo has done in his short time, and continue to look forward to the benefits he brings to this department and the community.”
