Moyock, NC — AMK9, a Constellis company and a provider of highly trained working dogs, today announced it will donate a fully trained K9 officer to the Currituck County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) K9 Unit.
“DAX”, a 20-month-old Belgian Malinois, joined his new handler, Deputy Eanes, and has begun training at the Constellis Training Center. DAX will officially join the Currituck County Sheriff’s Office K9 Unit next month, following completion of training and certification.
“After losing two important members of our K9 team last year, DAX will help us move forward with renewed strength,” said CCSO Chief Deputy, Jeff Walker. “Our dogs play an essential role in protecting the public and we’re truly grateful to AMK9 for providing a well-trained partner who will support our community.”
AMK9 training will prepare DAX for the demands of patrol and detection work. Once certified, DAX is ready to step into service to support critical operations ranging from narcotics detection to field response.
“K9 teams are vital to community safety,” said Bill Chipman, Senior Director of K9 Operations, AMK9. “As a long-standing member of this community, AMK9 is proud to stand alongside Currituck County to provide a highly capable K9 officer to support their mission.”
Currituck County, North Carolina covers more than 540 square miles. The region includes large waterways and multiple jurisdictional boundaries, making highly trained K9 teams an especially valuable resource for effective policing and emergency response.
