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.

If you're going to invest in a K9 unit, why would you not invest in automatic doors and dash cams.

Oh government...

They chose.....poorly.

I think this cop needs a dashcam. I'd buy him one from Amazon.

I'd rather have a heat alarm with a remote control that tells me the temperature in my car and controls the door pop. The dash cam would be secondary. Especially in a hot region of the country.

Good job Lucas!

Budget cuts don't mean much as an excuse when a dog dies from heat in the back of a car.

Indeed, air conditioning isn't infallible.

Gives me the chills thinking about how that would have gone without the aid of a good dog.

as they dragged the deputy into the wooded area, said they were going to “slit his throat.”

Reading that put a lump in my throat.

Stay safe out there folks.
