K9 Handlers graduation

On April 30, Tecumseh State Correctional Institution (TSCI) celebrated its second K9 graduation. Six Handlers received certificates of completion and two Handlers became certified trainers. TSCI Handlers have found a great sense of accomplishment and passion for this program. One Handler stated during graduation the K9 program is “the first and only program he has participated in during his 30 years of incarceration”.  Canines Evie and Rusty have moved on to assist community members in their trained abilities, and Handlers are still working with Gus to continue to develop and train him until he starts the Service Program at the Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP).  The TSCI K9 Program truly is transforming TSCI one pup at a time.
