A Hancock County sheriff’s deputy escaped a brutal attack by three men Monday night thanks to the help of a K-9 named Lucas. Investigators believe had it not been for his four-legged partner’s intervention, the deputy likely would have been killed.
“Dash cameras would’ve really made a big difference,” Adam said, explaining that less than one-third of their department’s patrol vehicles are equipped with cameras.
Budget cuts have made keeping up-to-date equipment difficult, he said. In fact, only two of the department’s four K-9 units are equipped with the remote controlled door-opening device, and those were only installed just last month.
Adam said the device definitely aided in saving Frazier’s life.
