K-9 Program

Medor

Medor was purchased from Pacesetter K9. Pacesetter K9 is a working dog training facility located in Liberty Hill, Texas and the owner Brad Langham takes an active role in developing and training the working dogs and handlers to form canine units.

Medor was extensively trained prior to meeting his handler. Medor’s training included narcotics detection, tracking, and obedience. Medor completed the intensive training program at Pacesetter K9 which lasted approximately three weeks. At the end of the training they became a certified canine unit in narcotics and tracking. Medor trains weekly since their certification to maintain and grow their skills necessary to continue to be a canine unit for the Schertz Police Department. Medor must also complete an annual certification so that it demonstrates that the canine unit is conducting appropriate and adequate capabilities to the point that a court of law can accept the results from the canine unit.

When not on patrol, Medor will also take an active role in taking part of community events such as SchertzFest and Fourth of July Jubilee.

Medor will also be utilized in the schools located in the City of Schertz to educate and promote a drug free environment. Medor also brings a new element to the Schertz Police Department in that instead of relying on other agencies for a dog that can locate (track) when a child or person is lost we can now perform that task as Medor is an excellent tracking dog.

When Medor is not at work, he enjoys running around in his backyard and playing fetch with his beloved Kong toy.
