Pender County Sheriff’s Office hosts K-9, drone training exercise
BURGAW, NC (WWAY) — The Pender County Sheriff’s Office held a special training for drone operators and K-9 units on Tuesday. The training is meant to simulate a missing person situation.
“This is our second time doing this. We’re trying to make it an annual event,” Sgt. Josiah Dorton with the sheriff’s office said.
The training started two years ago as a way to prepare K-9 handlers and drone operators for collaboration in the field.
