K9

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office currently has three K9 in active service.

Since 2011, Dodge County Sheriff's Office has had K9s in its service. All teams are certified through Jessiffany Canine Services in the detection of four controlled substances including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and MDMA. K9 Cade and K9 Ok’ó are trained in handler protection, suspect apprehension, and tracking. K9 Bak is trained for controlled substances and tracking. They do all of this while still being friendly enough to do public presentations and interact with children in schools. In addition to the kennel certifications, they are also certified through an independent master trainer from the American Police Canine Services each year. The K9 teams must train throughout the year in order to pass certifications for both organizations.

The K9’s and their equipment are partially funded by donations.

K9 Cade was purchased through funds from Play 4 Cade. This organization raises awareness for organ donation and the organization donated the $15,000 to the sheriff’s office in memory of a 14-year-old teenager who died in a crash, named Cade. K9 Bak was brought on from the Lomira Police Department when the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office took over with contracted law enforcement services. K9 Ok’ó was purchased through the proceeds of the annual K9 Golf Outing. Money is raised through K9 donations and the K9 golf outing, which is the main source of funds for the program. The 2024 K9 golf outing raised $15,744. The money raised is used for K9 unit expenses and saved for future needs.

K9 Golf Scramble

Each year at the end of the summer the Dodge County Sheriff's Office hosts an annual golf outing as its primary fundraiser for the K9 program.

Last year’s event was a huge success thanks to the kind donations of businesses and those who participated in the event. After last year’s event we added a 3rd K9 team to our agency with a plan to add a 4th K9 team after the event this year. That will bring us to our goal of having a K9 assigned to all 4 patrol shifts.

All funds raised from this event help to offset the ongoing expenses such as equipment, training and veterinary costs of our K9 teams which have been a community asset since 2011. In order to ensure the success
of this very important fundraiser, we are seeking sponsorships and/or prize item donations for our silent auction. Generous donors like you are the key to help raise funds to cover the costs associated with the K9 teams.

We have incorporated an online based program that will allow you to do sponsorship, golf team registration, and or simple cash donation. You will also be able to submit payment through the site, which we are encouraging for smoother and easier tracking.
If you are unable to complete this process online, please contact our K9 handlers at dodgek9@co.dodge.wi.us.

Entry fees are $80 per person or $320 per foursome by August 8, 2025 otherwise after August 8, 2025, it will be $90 per person or $360 per foursome. This will include 18 holes with a cart and lunch. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and raffle prizes. Limit is 100 golfers.
