The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office employees a full-service K-9 Unit. Patrol K9 teams are specially trained for narcotics detection, tracking and suspect apprehension work alongside our patrol deputies. 

​

In addition to patrol K9s, the sheriff's office also utilizes several specialty dogs including a bloodhound for tracking missing persons or suspects, a single-purpose narcotic detection dog and in the schools we have K9 Mags, a detection dog dedicated specifically to school safety and is cross-trained as a certified therapy dog.
