K-9 Teams

Frank and Dusty

Dusty came all the way from Germany to make his home in Cortez. Officer Frank Kobel and Dusty met in California and attended the Inglis K-9 Academy led by Dave, Debbie, and Daniel Inglis. They completed the 200 hour course and are continuing their training in Cortez. Dusty is trained for patrol and narcotics. He loves to go to work.

Frank and Dusty are members of the National Police Dog Foundation. In fact, it is with the help of the NPDF that the Cortez Police Department was able to obtain such an awesome K-9.
