Officers Josh Templeton and Scott Clain from the California Correctional Center’s Investigative Services Unit, including their K-9 partners, recently visited Stead Elementary School in Reno, Nev., to participate in Nevada Read Week.
There they spoke to a group of students ranging from kindergarten to second grade. The event hosted representatives from various professions who read stories to the children, and gave a short speech describing their professions.
Officers Templeton and Clain read the children “Officer Buckle and Gloria,” a children’s book by Peggy Rathmann, and “Nubs: The Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle,” a true story of an Iraqi dog of war and Maj. Brian Dennis.
After reading the books, their canine partners Hunter and Joker put on a show by demonstrating their ability to detect cellular phones.
Joker and Hunter were the highlight of the day and their participation was such a success, Officers Templeton, Clain, Joker and Hunter were invited to participate again next year.
Great job, CDCR!
Thank you for giving the kids such delightful memories at school. It’s unfortunate the older children didn’t get to attend. Keep up the great work!
These dogs are a good way to reach the children. I like how the dogs smelt celluar phone and stuff. This sounds like a good way to communicate.
Good Job Guys !!!
Heck of a job,”Good looking out for the children of the future”. Love the look on their faces!
Awesome job guys!!! Glad to see your taking the time to educate the young minds. It was a pleasure to be apart of the K-9 Academy with you both. Great way to represent our department and your local institution. Stay sharp and be safe brothers.
Way to go guys & K-9’s. The kids look so attentive. Good work!
You can see the excitement on their faces! What a wonderful day to spend making a difference in the lives of our young children.
That is just fantastic. Great role models.
