KISSIMMEE, Fla. – If you love dogs and a good dose of community safety, then today’s Trooper Steve on Patrol stream is right up your alley!
We’re heading to a special Dedication Day event with the Kissimmee Police Department and the Senior Resource Alliance to introduce the newest (and furriest) crime-fighting duo: bloodhounds Duchess and Belle!
These talented pups aren’t just here for belly rubs (though we’re sure they’d never turn one down). They’ve been specially trained to help locate missing persons — particularly those who may be vulnerable, like individuals with autism, Alzheimer’s or dementia.
But that’s not all — this event is also about spreading awareness of scent preservation kits, a tool that could make all the difference when time is critical in finding a loved one. If you’re wondering what exactly these kits are and how they work, don’t worry — we’ll break it all down for you during the stream.
Join us as we meet these incredible bloodhounds, chat with their handlers, and see firsthand how their powerful noses are making a difference in public safety. You won’t want to miss this one!
