K-9

The day began like any other day, getting up at 7:00a.m and getting ready for school but today I didn’t have classes so I was going to spend my day at the Sheriff’s Department. I talked to Deputy Angela Painter the day before and she said they had a detail to do in the morning and that I was more than welcome to come with, but she would tell me what kind of detail it was. I got to post around 8:15 and we left in the squad car for Metamora. All the Deputies and Detectives were at Shell gas station when we came into town. We stopped there and then it was time to meet up at Metamora PD. When we pulled up there, there was two Metamora police cars there, 4 Woodford county squads there, 1 State Police K-9, 2 Peoria city K-9s, 1 Tazewell county K-9 and 1 Woodford county K-9. I was standing there thinking this is going to be a good day! The Metamora Police Chief got a call from the High School and said were ready to go! Everyone mounted up and off to the High School. We ran the dogs around all the cars in the parking lot on both sides of the building and then if the dog would hit on a car, which that means if they alert on a car they would call the student out and have them unlock their car and a Officer or Deputy would search through it. We had a few alerts and no drugs were found. After that myself and Deputy Painter drove around and waited to go to lunch with the others. After lunch we went back to post and I left from there.
