At Tuesday’s County Commissioner meeting, Wabash County sheriff Derek Morgan outlined his department’s timeline for the new K-9 unit. Morgan said the new dog will arrive in the U. S. within the next week and then spend a week getting acclimated to its’ new environment in Tennessee. After that, the K-9 will spend 4 to 5 weeks in training before deputy Chase Cheadle will join the training for another 4 weeks. Morgan said Crimestoppers is paying the dog which will be a single purpose K-9 meaning it’ll only be used for tracking and drug purposes. Former Wabash County K-9 handler Keagan Bogard will assist in the training process according to Morgan. The sheriff’s department is close to taking possession of a new pick up truck which will be used as the new vehicle for the K-9 unit.
