The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office K9 Unit welcomes its newest four-legged member. Gero is a 16-month-old German shepherd from the Republic of Slovakia. Gero is partnered with Sgt. Chris Coderre, who has been with the agency since 1996. Gero will work in the Special Operations Division. Gero and Sgt. Coderre trained over the past four weeks at Castle’s K9 Inc. in Mechanicsburg, Pa. The two were prepared for everyday life on the street and will specialize in patrol and narcotics detection.
Gero and Sgt. Coderre will join the four other K9 teams who work within the Special Operations Division of the Sheriff’s Office. Each dog is cross-trained for patrol work and detection work, with three dogs trained in narcotics detection and one in explosive detection.
