Grant County is using opioid settlement money to fund a new drug-sniffing K-9 unit for the jail, starting in 2026.
Grant County Sheriff’s Office is launching a drug detection K-9 program funded by opioid settlement dollars, spending over $28,000 to buy and train a dog and handler to detect heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl at the county jail.
The K-9, which will live with handler Deputy Seth Henkel, will primarily operate inside the jail to prevent drug smuggling, reduce overdose risks, and improve safety for inmates and staff.
It may also assist in field investigations but won’t search people or perform patrols.
Additional costs like kennels, vehicles, and medical care are not covered by settlement funds, prompting the office to seek public donations.
The program, set to transition to a new jail in 2026, follows the retirement of a previous K-9 and aims to strengthen corrections and community safety.
