First Bloodhound Reports for Duty
/The first bloodhound for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is now on duty.
Albert joined the Sheriff's Department in January of 2022 as a 13-week-old puppy. After more than a year of training, he is now serving our communities as part of the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue (SAR) K-9 Unit. His special mission is to help find missing and at-risk people. Albert graduated from training at the end of March 2023 and received his badge from Sheriff Kelly A. Martinez. He was donated to the Sheriff's Department by the Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s Association (HDSA).
