LCSO Welcomes Firearm Detection Dog

Join us in welcoming K9 Abel to our team! Handler Deputy Heithold underwent training to work specifically with Abel, who is a firearm detection dog. Laurens School District 55 has partnered with the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office to bring in this K9 in an effort to further protect our students and schools. Abel will alert his handler to the presence of firearms and is a valuable asset to this county.

"Abel is a valuable and cherished addition to our office. He is another tool to keep our students safe and I look forward to his service alongside us.” Sheriff Reynolds
