Posted January 31, 2014
On January 29, Honorary Sheriff Cole Merle was invited to the Clark/Skamania Regional K-9 Unit training day at the Public Safety Complex in Ridgefield. Sheriff Cole got to witness the K-9’s as they trained to apprehend suspects that were non-compliant, as well as drug detection. Sheriff Cole arrived with his “Posse” of family members and friends to see Clark County’s Master Trainer Deputy Ellithorpe explain the role of K-9 in modern law enforcement. Cole was sworn in as Honorary Sheriff earlier this month. The honor is handed out to children undergoing serious medical treatment. Cole was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilm’s Tumor in September 2011.
