\"\"<\/a>WEST CHESTER \u2014 The Chester County Sheriff\u2019s Office is pleased to announce that it is expecting! Later this month, two young K-9s, destined to become Chester County Deputy Sheriffs, will be \u201cdelivered\u201d to Chester County to begin their training regime.<\/p>\n

But both dogs need names.\u00a0 And Chester County Sheriff Fredda Maddox and her team are asking the Chester County community for suggestions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome the two male K-9s in the next few weeks,\u201d said Sheriff Maddox. \u00a0\u201cBoth of the dogs have been chosen because they show the perfect temperament and intelligence to excel at being part of our Chester County Sheriff\u2019s Office K-9 team. Now, all that they need are to be named as they begin their extensive training, and we would like the Chester County community to help us.\u201d <\/p>\n

The new trainee K-9s will undergo hundreds of hours of instruction over a number of months, and will train alongside their individual handler partners who are current Chester County Sheriff\u2019s Deputies. Once initial training is complete, the dogs will join the current Sheriff\u2019s Office K-9 team that specializes in detecting missing people, narcotics or explosives, as well as a K-9 that serves as a comfort dog.<\/p>\n

The dogs that currently serve as Chester County K-9s are named Don, Cairo, Marley, Maddie, Luke, Dexter and retired K-9 Yukon.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our two new dogs we are looking for names that are unique, but of course, quick and easy to pronounce,\u201d added Sheriff Maddox.<\/p>\n

To submit a suggested name for each of the Chester County Sheriff\u2019s Office\u2019s newest K-9s, email yukon@chesco.org<\/a> by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The two selected names will be announced by the end of September, as each of the dogs begins its formal training to join the prestigious ranks of the Chester County Sheriff\u2019s Office K-9 team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
