Scott County Sheriff's Office K-9 Program is Growing...K-9 "Zeus" joins the Sheriffs' Office

(Media Notice Alert)

Scott County-On 8-16-2022, the Scott County Sheriff's Office K-9 Program will increase as K-9 Deputy "Zeus" joins the force. Pete Dragojevic, the President and K-9 Master Trainer for the Blue Warrior Tactics Organization, a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to providing law enforcement officers with the best K-9 partners available, will graciously donate K-9 Zeus to the Scott County Sheriffs' Office on Tuesday, August 16, 2022. A ceremony will be conducted at the Sheriffs' Office in Scottsburg, where K-9 Zeus and the current Sheriffs' Office K-9 Deputy "Karma" will be formally sworn in and recognized by Scott County Sheriff Jerry Goodin. K-9 Karma has been an effective tool in combating illegal drugs in and around Scott County, a primary line of effort of Sheriff Goodin since becoming Sheriff.  By adding K-9 Zeus to the war on drug dealers, the Scott County Sheriffs' Office will be even more lethal in eradicating our community of these drug suppliers. The total value of the donation of K-9 Zeus exceeds $15,000, a generous gesture personally made by Mr. Dragojevic to the Sheriffs' Office and the people of Scott County. 

NOTE: Not one cent of tax payer funds were expended on this project.  This is a primary objective always stressed by Sheriff Goodin, an obligation he made to the people of Scott County upon becoming their Sheriff.

The swearing in of the K-9 Deputies will be at 1:00pm at the Sheriffs' Office, 111 S. First Street in Scottsburg.  Everyone in the community is invited to attend.
