Prince William County Police Officer William VanAntwerp and his canine partner Hawkeye competed in a nationwide police dog competition last month and brought home a 4th place win.
VanAntwerp and Hawkeye traveled to the United States Police Canine Association’s (USPCA) Police Dog 1 (PD1) National Trials in Detroit Lakes, MN. The national trials Sept. 18-23 drew the top police K-9 teams from across the U.S. and Canada. 85 teams competed in six events: obedience, suspect search, article search, agility, criminal apprehension, and criminal apprehension with gunfire.
VanAntwerp and Hawkeye placed 4th in obedience. “Their performance at the national trials, and throughout the year, is a fine reflection of the high standards we have for our K-9 Unit,” said Police Chief Charlie T. Deane.
