New York State Sheriff’s Association Annual K-9 Seminar
Hosted at Black Ops Airsoft in Penn Yan

The Yates County Sheriff’s Office has had a long outstanding history in the use of Police Canines. As a specialty unit assigned to the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Deputies assigned are on patrol with their Canine partners. Each team is certified in patrol, tracking, and narcotics and maintains their proficiency in weekly training under the supervision of two New York State Bureau for Municipal Training Council (DCJS) certified trainers/examiners. Today the Sheriff’s Office has two certified K-9 teams:  Deputy Sheriff Brandon Jensen and K-9 Argo (Belgium Malinois)Deputy Sheriff Brian Winslow and K-9 Orry (German Shepard).
      
This unit also hosts the New York State Sheriff’s Association Annual K-9 seminar in conjunction with the North American Police Working Dog Association (NAPWDA). This seminar has seen many K-9 teams from around the northeast and sponsors some of the foremost instructors in the United States in this field of expertise.

The North American Police Work Dog Association (NAPWDA) was formed in 1977 and is composed of law enforcement officers throughout the United States and several other countries. Our mission is that we are Dedicated to Assisting Police Work Dog Teams Throughout the World.
