On Friday morning, the Camden High School Canine Class had two special visitors! New York State Trooper Trevor Noonan and his K-9 partner, Rya, stopped in to demonstrate what it takes to pursue work as a dog handler for the New York State Police. Topics included tracking, handler protection, narcotics detection, and cadaver location, and of course, a little time to say hello too!
Students were also able to see Rya's bite work in action - with a little help from SPO Dustin Hite - and that was quite a convincing demonstration!
