FARGO, N.D. – The Cass County Sheriff’s Office has a new four-legged deputy on its force.
K-9 Finn is the county’s first Community Outreach Comfort Dog and was sworn into service this week alongside his partner, Deputy Jolene Fletcher. Finn is a 14-month-old Labrador Retriever. He will support the Sheriff’s Office through a variety of outreach and response roles, including community engagement events, school programs, crisis intervention, and support during critical or traumatic incidents and investigations. In addition, K-9 Finn will also provide support for staff wellness within the office.
“K-9 Finn represents the strong partnership we have with the communities we serve,” said Sheriff Jesse Jahner. “This program was made possible through the generosity of local organizations and community members, along with the Cass County Commission, who believe in the importance of connection, compassion, and support. K-9 Finn will help us build positive relationships, engage with residents of all ages, and provide comfort during times when it’s needed most. We are grateful for the community support that made this possible, and we are excited to see the impact K-9 Finn will have throughout Cass County.”
