On Thursday, June 11th, our deputies had a fantastic time visiting the Bayou Vista Community Center to put on a special demonstration for the kids' summer camp!

Deputy Johnson kicked things off by giving the campers a great overview of Eylaโs extensive training and explaining just how important her work is to our daily operations here at the SMPSO.
๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐! The kids got to see Eylaโs skills in action as she demonstrated her "bite work" in criminal apprehension. A huge shoutout to K9 Deputy Ledet for stepping up as the decoy! The campers were absolutely fascinated by the protective bite sleeve and loved learning about the gear that keeps our handlers safe during these high-intensity training exercises.
Thank you so much to the summer camp for the invitation! We always enjoy getting out into the community, sharing what we do, and spending time with the kids.
