K9 Tracker and Sheriff’s Deputy Mitch Olson demo a drug find

On February 18, 2020 the Grantsburg Rotary Club invited Burnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Mitch Olson along with K9 Tracker to put on a demonstration of finding hidden drugs at Crex Convention Center. Olson had hidden the drugs while Tracker was out of the room.

The Burnett County Law Enforcement Citizen’s Auxillary is currently raising funds to bring in a second K9 dog to help with the current load on Tracker and Olson, as well as setting up a future where there will always be two dogs in the county. A dog is serviceable for about six years on the job.

For more information on how to help bring another dog into Burnett County, go to the Citizens Auxillary’s Facebook page.
