    logo_ycsoPrescott AZ (January 5, 2018) – On December 28, 2017, YCSO Deputy Trevor Hearl and his service dog Vader, as well as Deputy John Bounds and his service dog Cyrus, graduated the Arizona Department of Corrections K9 Academy. The K9 Academy consists of 320 hours of onsite training in Tucson, Arizona. Participants live on-site during the course which takes place at the Arizona Correctional Officers Training Academy. There is no cost to law enforcement agencies for this specialized and very comprehensive training.

    During the academy, new K9 handlers learn about scent theory as it relates to narcotics detection and tracking. They also learn about handler protection training. Deputy Hearl certified in Narcotics Detection and Deputy Bounds certified in Narcotic Detection and Handler Protection. The training for both deputies and their K9 partners is rigorous throughout the academy and both are constantly tested before certification.

    The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Arizona Department of Corrections for their continued support.

    20180105_MJloadfromtrunkDeputies Hearl and Bounds are eager to hit the streets and put their training to work. Although his K9 partner was not utilized, Deputy Hearl was working narcotics interdiction on January 3, 2018, along I40 near Ashfork, when he observed a silver sedan acting suspiciously. The vehicle, travelling east, was eventually stopped for speeding. The driver, 19-year-old Francisco Solorzano, and his passenger, Alexis Ramirez, 21, were contacted. Both are from California. During a consensual search of the vehicle, 25.5 pounds of packaged marijuana was seized from the trunk on its way east for delivery (see photo). Both suspects were arrested and booked at the Camp Verde Detention on Possession and Transportation of Marijuana for Sale and each remains in-custody on a $15,000 bond.   

    Citizens can contact the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office with information or questions at 928-771-3260 or the YCSO website: www.ycsoaz.gov

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
