ACSO: Introducing K-9 Nitro

By Sheriff Josh Brockman
Adair County Sheriff's Office


The Adair County Sheriff's Office is pleased to introduce its newest member of the team. Meet K-9 Nitro. He is a 1.5 year old Belgian Malinois.

Nitro has received his certification in narcotics detection of 5 controlled substances. These include methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana.

Nitro is also certified in human tracking whether it be criminal or a missing or lost person. He will be handled and live with Deputy Josh Durbin, who is a 3.5 year veteran of the office. Deputy Durbin has met all the qualifications set out before him and has received his certification as a K-9 handler.


Nitro was purchased from Alpha Canines LLC, a KY based kennel that specializes in law enforcement dogs. The purchase of this dog was made completely possible by the support of the community in form of donations. A list will be provided.

We are excited to get this program started at the Sheriff's Office, and we believe it will be beneficial to our efforts in combating the drug problem in Adair County. We know it will not stop the problem in itself, but anything that helps us remove any narcotics from our community is one less opportunity that they will fall into to the hands of our loved ones.
