Worcester County Sheriff’s Office Press Release

Members of the Worcester County K-9 unit and the Worcester County Vocational School have teamed up and created a T shirt that may be purchased to support the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit.

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office currently has two K-9 units in service and there is a third handler in training now with another K-9 that was purchased to replace the dog that had to be retired.

Currently the Sheriff’s Office has K9 Dino and K9 Jonka as active dogs.  K9 Reagan is in training with handler Dfc. Dennis in North Carolina.  Soon the Sheriff’s Office will get a dogs for handlers Dfc. Larmore and Dfc. Trotter.  Retired K9's are K9 Denny, K9 Luger and K9 Toby.

Budget cuts have stressed all offices throughout the County Government. The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit not only has to maintain the current group of  dogs and equipment that are in service now, but also the dogs that have had to be retired from the job.

The K-9 Unit asked the Worcester County Vocational School to design a T shirt for production. The Students jumped at the chance to assist the Sheriff’s office. In designing a T shirt the students receive real world training and experience designing a product and then pitching their design in hopes it is picked to go into production.

Mr. Clay Reister and Ella Topping are the teachers of the graphic arts class. Mr. Reister and Ms. Topping guided the students in their design and help pick the winning design that was put into production. Attached is a photo of the T shirt that the students designed.   Below is the list of students in the Graphic arts class who designed the T shirt.
