K-9 competition taking place in Scottsville

SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. – This week in Scottsville, you might see police agencies from across the nation due to an ongoing K-9 academy and competition.

This event gives officers the chance to get K-9 certified while learning about the importance of working alongside well-trained and highly skilled dogs.

Through realistic scenarios and hands-on practices, these programs not only improve the dogs’ performance but also prepare law enforcement personnel for real-world challenges, according to the agency hosting the event, OnPoint Training.

This will run until Friday, March 28. We’ll learn more about this program’s impact on local law enforcement tomorrow on News 40 at 5.
