PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The Indiana State Police Putnamville Post announced Monday that Trooper Brad Fyfe and his K-9 partner Jett graduated on Dec. 3 from the ISP K-9 Academy in Indianapolis.
Together, Fyfe and Jett completed a 12-week training program, which included certifications in areas such as drug detection, tracking, article searches, building searches, obedience and apprehension. In total, more than 400 hours of training took place before Fyfe and Jett were certified to begin patrolling together.
The two were one of eleven K-9 teams to complete the training. The other ten teams are assigned to other districts around the state. The Putnamville Post will now be staffed with two patrol K-9 teams.
Trooper Fyfe has served with ISP for six years and has been primarily assigned duties in Vigo County. Jett is a one year old German Shepherd that came to ISP from a select breeder in the Czech Republic.
Trooper Fyfe and Jett will immediately begin their work together in the Putnamville District, which covers Putnam, Clay, Vigo, Sullivan, Vermillion and Parke Counties.
