K9 Arras joins the Marshall County Sheriff's Department

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department has a new K9.

Arras is a three-year-old Belgian Malinois who was purchased and trained through the Von Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind. Arras is trained as a narcotics detector dog and he is a certified patrol K9 through the North American Working Dog Association. He will be working with patrolman Brandon Cooper and will be available to both the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and local police departments.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department has not had a K9 program in four years. The reinstatement of the program was made possible through a donation from the Lake Maxinkuckee Association.
