County Police Place Third in Dog Competition
The Prince William County Police hosted the annual Iron Dog competition.
Running a 1.5 mile obstacle course posing various challenges to dogs and handlers, the Prince William County Police K9 teams placed third in the annual United States Police Canine Association regional Iron Dog competition on Nov. 6.
Prince William County hosted the event for the USPCA Region 3 at the Criminal Justice Academy in Nokesville. Prince William County's Officer Marshall Daniel and his canine partner, Koda, and Officer William VanAntwerp and his canine partner, Hawkeye, placed third in the "Combined Team" category.
“We were thrilled to host the USPCA Iron Dog event again this year,” said First Sergeant Greg Pass, supervisor of the Police Department’s K-9 Unit. “The course proved to be challenging, yet enjoyable for the handlers and the dogs. Everyone had a great time—especially the firefighters who had the opportunity to hose down a bunch of police officers as they tried to run through the marsh.”
