Police K9 Bam (retired)2002
Decoy School in Seville Ohio
Bam and I began a 14 week Police k9 training class in January 2002 and at the 14th week in house test under USPCA standards scored 700 + points earning him the class "Top Dog" award. April 2002 we recieved a Patrol Related Canine Certification for Criminal Apprehension, Canine Control,Canine Searches and a Special Purpose Canine Certification for Tracking and Article Search by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission. May 2004 we earned another Special Purpose Canine Certification for Narcotic Detection.
June 2005 we participated in the Ohio Police Olympics where he recieved a Silver medal for Narcotic detection, a Bronze medal for Tactical Agility, and another Bronze medal for the Criminal Apprehension phase of the event. While logging over 4,000 calls of service in his four and a half year career as a PSD, he has faced several dangerous situations, he has been punched, kicked, and choked by criminals trying to get away, however the 75 pound German Shepherd with a 100 pound heart has never given up and has never lost a fight. He has never let me down on the street, has been there when needed, has always done what was asked of him, and never once has he complained or asked why. No matter what situation laid in front of him he always eagerly and with great anticipation, welcomed it! After having a great career with numerous accomplishments and accomadations for service, K-9 Bam retired and last served his community August 05th, 2006.
