Sheriff’s Office Welcomes Newest K-9 Deputy, Riggs

The Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the newest addition to its law enforcement team: K-9 Riggs, a one-year-old Belgian Malinois imported from Holland. K-9 Riggs officially began his duties with the Sheriff’s Office on October 5, 2026. Riggs was purchased with funds from drug seizures.

Riggs is partnered with K-9 handler Lt. Dave Rowland. Together, the team recently completed an intensive five-week training program at Tri-State Canine Services in Warren, Ohio. Their rigorous training concluded with certification approved by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA), ensuring the highest standards of preparation for public safety service.

Specially trained in both patrol work and narcotics detection, Riggs brings valuable skills to the office. His training will support patrol operations, assist in criminal investigations, and aid in keeping dangerous substances out of the community.

"We are excited to welcome Riggs to our team," said Sheriff Scott Kent. "The addition of K-9 Riggs and Lt. Rowland strengthen our commitment to public safety and increases the Office’s proactive law enforcement capabilities."

K-9 Riggs and Lt. Rowland are already on active duty, serving and protecting the citizens of Crawford County.
