From Prescott Valley Police Department:
Prescott Valley Police K9 teams, along with the Arizona Law Enforcement K-9 Association, will host a public demonstration on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, at Findlay Toyota Center, 3201 Main Street, Prescott Valley. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 6 p.m. The demo is free to the public. The demo is the culmination of four days of intensive
training for K9 teams. Beginning on July 17, seventy-five
teams from all over the state will arrive in Prescott Valley to test for certification, gain experience, and attend seminars. Prescott Valley K9 Sgt. Keven O’Hagan said this
year’s focus is on tactical leadership and tracking. Teams will also receive training on trauma first aid for the dogs, among
other subjects. The July 18 demo will include introductions of local K9 teams from Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Prescott, and Yavapai
County Sheriff’s Office. Demos will include obedience and realistic scenarios showing the K9 teams’ skills in fighting crime. The ALECA training and demo are made possible free of charge to member law enforcement agencies partly by the sale of merchandise such as t-shirts, hats, dog toys and other products that will be available at the demonstration.
Prescott Valley Police Department can be contacted at (928) 772-9267 for non-emergencies, 911 for emergencies. Yavapai Silent witness is 1-800-932-3232.
