METADATA-START

 

Yesterday, the Indiana State Police held a graduation ceremony for the 2015 Indiana State Police K-9 Class at the Indiana State Police Museum in Indianapolis. The ceremony graduated nine troopers from around the state and their new K-9 partners along with one Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputy and his new K-9 partner.

Trooper Nathan Abbott and his new K-9 “Teague” along with trooper Zachary Smith and his new K-9 “Riggs”, both from the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg, were among those graduating.

Trooper Nathan Abbott received his new K-9 “Teague” after his past K-9 “Kilo”, was killed in the line of duty searching a home in Sellersburg. He and his new K-9 “Teague” finished an abbreviated academy due to Trooper Abbott and “K-9” Teague both being trained prior to this academy. K-9 “Teague” is a four year old German Shepherd imported from Europe.

Trooper Zachary Smith and his new K-9 “Riggs” graduated after a 14 week K-9 academy and 500 hours of K-9 training. “Riggs” is an 18-month old Belgian Malinois imported from Europe.

The primary initiative of the Indiana State Police K-9 team is to search for and locate suspect(s) or evidence that can be linked to a specific crime.
