CCO Kelly Assists Benton County with K9 Demonstration

By Ashlee Berts

I want to recognize CCO John Kelly from Rush City for assisting Benton County with their K9 demonstration on August 4, 2023 at their county fair!

CCO Kelly was at the fair enjoying some family time when he was asked if he would be able to assist with their K9 demonstration due to some last minute changes leaving this task to only one person. CCO Kelly received permission to assist them and was able to demonstrate obedience, narcotics detection, and apprehensions with Benton County Deputy Kadlec.

It is estimated several hundred folks watched the demonstration with many staying for meet and greet afterwards. CCO Kelly used this time to talk about available positions with the DOC and even showed 4 people how to apply online with us!

Thank you for your dedication to the DOC and our community John.
