"JACK" our new canine dog is black and tan and a 100% Bloodhound registered with the AKC.  He was born on October 21, 2006 in Newalla, OK at the Hickory Ridge Kennels.  His father's name is "Bo Duke By Rock" and his mother's is "Olive's Good Golly Miss Ollie".  We received Jack on January 31, 2007 when he was three months old and 24 lbs.  As of now, April 2007, he is over 50 lbs. and is expected to grow to approximately 130 lbs.  He was donated to the Police Department by ALIE.  ALIE is an organization based in Colorado and dedicated to placing bloodhounds into law enforcement.  The organization was formed by Richard Berrelez.  The grandfather of Alie Berrelez.  Alie Berrelez was kidnapped and killed in 1992 at the age of five.  The story about her and the ALIE organization can be found by going to www.alie.org. 

Jack's handler is Officer Kevin Frabotta.  Kevin is 40 years old and has been with the Police Department for over 17 years.  He is married with four children and his family will give Jack all the love he needs. 

Jack will be our "people finder" and will track anyone from missing children to suspects in violent crimes. 

Jack is friendly and well tempered.  He also loves children.
