K-9 Unit visits Exploring Ag Science class at Jeff Jr

Devon Grill's Exploring Agricultural Science class  at Jefferson Junior High School is currently studying a unit on  companion animals. The class hosted Narcotics Investigator Scott Hedrick  from the Columbia Police Department and K-9 Unit Deputy Chris Smith of  Boone County Sheriff's Department. The officers talked about training  their dogs, the care their dogs require, how their career developed to include service dogs, and what a day in the life of a K-9 unit investigator involves. The officers gave a tracking demonstration in the classroom and the students had a lot of great questions for both officers.
