Dec. 23–KINGWOOD — The Preston County Sheriff ‘s Department’s top dog is leaving.
Renco, the department’s K9, is taking his handler, Deputy Brad Palmer, with him.
Sheriff Dallas Wolfe said Palmer has accepted a position with the Garrett County (Md.) Sheriff ‘s Department. Renco will go with him. Garrett County will pay Preston County $12,500 for Renco.
“That’s what I have in training the officer and the training of the dog,” Wolfe said. It also includes the price of the dog, he said.
“Our plan is to start over,” Wolfe said. “We do have another slot for another officer at Shallow Creek Kennels 1/8where Palmer and Renco trained3/8 in April. Shallow Creek said they can provide the same type of dog.”
