Ando & officer Hale article
WHITING — For the second year in a row Whiting Police Department’s K-9officer Ando took first place overall in narcotics detection at the K-9 Olympics
in Muncie. Ando and his human partner, Whiting officer Milford Hale, competed
against 62 other K-9 officers searching for cocaine, heroin, marijuana and
methamphetamines hidden in vehicles, lockers, buildings and other areas. Ando and
Hale attended the competition with fellow K-9 officers from Calumet City,
Ill., and Hammond. “We call ourselves the Woof Pack,” Hale said of himself and
three other officers. “We practice every other Monday for eight hours going
through drills and training the dogs to do their jobs.” The Woof Pack was formed
three years ago, including Hale, Hammond Police Officer Alcox,
Hammond Police Officer Guizor and Calumet City,
Ill., Patrolman Hynek. Together the team has competed in the past three
K-9 Olympics and taken home many of the top honors, including second place in
overall team competition this year. Hynek and his K-9 partner, Rocky, finished
first in the locker search competition and second overall in narcotics
detection competition.
Alcox, who along with his K-9 officer Viktor took first place in the
building drug searches and third in the obedience competition, said the officers
are always looking for new places to train. Guizor, who works with Jack, a
K-9 officer brought home first place
