APD’s own K-9 teams—Officer Leadbetter with K-9 Lobo and Officer Fashempour with K-9 Mando—competed in the categories of Agility, Obedience, and Apprehension. Each event showcased the dedication, discipline, and strong bond between officers and their K-9 partners.
A special award, Top Dog, was presented to Officer Leadbetter and K-9 Lobo, recognizing their outstanding performance across all categories. Officer Fashempour and K-9 Mando also earned 1st place in Agility, demonstrating exceptional coordination and precision. Congratulations to both of our K-9 teams!
