DOES WAYNESBORO HAVE A POLICE DOG?
Yes. Our current K-9, Sarge, joined the department in November of 2008. Sarge is a Dutch Shepherd and was born September 11, 2007 in Slovakia. Sarge was purchased from Castle’s K-9 out of Mechanicsburg, PA with generous donations from the community and local businesses. Sarge & his handler, Cpl. John Shindledecker completed their training in March of 2009. He is a patrol utility dog and trained in narcotic detection. Ex (1998 – 2008) Our previous K-9, named Ex, was born in the former Czech Republic in 1998 and was brought to the United States in March 2000. He joined the Waynesboro Police Department in May 2001 with his handler Cpl. John Shindledecker. Ex was a patrol utility dog and was trained in narcotics apprehension. Ex passed away in November 2008. Ex was a great asset to the community as well as the Department.
