K-9 Ranger
The Judith Basin County Sheriff's Office began the K-9
Team in 2008. With wide support from the citizens of Judith
Basin County as well as surrounding areas we were able to fully fund
the project. Deputy Nathan Hammontree is the K-9 handler and
team leader. K-9 Ranger was trained by LaCross K9 Training of
Montana, in Bozeman. The K-9 team is certified through the
American Society of Canine Trainers and completed their second
certification in October of 2009.
In January, 2009, the K-9 team was put on hold while
Deputy Hammontree was deployed overseas with the Montana Air National
Guard. After a nine month break in service the team accomplished
the necessary training and testing to return to service.

K-9 Team has been successful in finding drugs and
making arrests on multiple occasions since their return to
service. Thanks to all of the officers we work with to make
this happen.
