Great job Minnesota State Patrol!! Keep up the great work!
🚨 πŸš” 🐾 πŸ”Ž πŸ’Š πŸ’‰

πŸ’₯ During a traffic stop in May, a Minnesota State Trooper and his K-9 partner located crack co***ne, M**A tablets, approximately two pounds of ma*****na and a stolen firearm.

πŸ’₯ That stop was part of a multi-day K-9 saturation K9 troopers carried out throughout the metro area.

πŸ’₯ During the saturation:
β€’ 114 vehicles were stopped
β€’ 54 citations were issued

Operations like this are one example of the work MN law enforcement K-9 teams do every day to keep dangerous drugs and fi****ms off Minnesota roads and out of communities.

This project holds a special place for usβ€”back in 2025, we had the privilege to provide our detection dog services on & off set during its production thanks to actress & producer keelyyullakemp. Seeing the finished film come to life in front of a live audience was a full-circle moment and a testament to the incredible work of everyone involved.
🚨 🎭 πŸ”„ πŸŽ₯ 🎞️ ✨

It’s moments like this that remind us of why we do what we do. It’s
not just about working dogs. It’s not just about dog training and mission ready-preparedness. What we do is real work and real K9 developments.
Making real world impacts where it matters most.
