We won’t have a chance to catch up with our favorite K9 Officer, Doc, and his human, Officer John Montgomery this weekend, but we want to say HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY to K9 Doc! Here is a throwback photo from his last birthday. Once upon a time, Sonitrol was privileged to help EPD add Doc to their team and honored to name him after Sonitrol of Evansville’s own founder, Dr. William “Doc” Standring. Since then, we’ve enjoyed watching this dynamic duo, K9 Doc and Officer Montgomery, fight crime and keep our community safe. We appreciate you both, and we hope you have a fun birthday, K9 Doc!
A new K9 will be joining MPD K9 Unit!
Misty and the team from Sonitrol of Muncie were excited to present a check to Muncie Police Department on Friday for the purchase of Officer K9 Rock. At the ceremony, Sonitrol met with Mayor Dan Ridenour, Chief of Police Nate Sloan, and Assistant Chief of Police Chris Deegan. From the K-9 unit we met Officer Joshua Carrington, Officer Dani Bradford, K9 Rasse, Officer Zac Osborn, and K9 Bascao. Also pictured were representatives from Greg Hubler Ford as they are purchasing the bulletproof vest for K9 Rock.
The MPD K-9 Unit recently announced the upcoming retirement of one of their most dependable K9s, Officer Jan. Officer Jan and his human, Officer Joshua Carrington, have apprehended approximately fifty fleeing suspects during their time together and have contributed to countless narcotics and firearms seizures.
Sonitrol of Muncie donated the necessary funds to purchase the new crime fighter. With the purchase of the K9, Officer Carrington and team will be one step closer to training and preparing the latest MPD recruit to respond to the city of Muncie’s needs. Along with the privilege of helping the Muncie Police Department, Sonitrol of Muncie was asked to name the K9.
“Our team ultimately decided to name the officer K9 Rock as a tribute to my dad, Sonitrol of Muncie’s owner, Dr. Mark Standring. Since Dad is an Indiana dentist with a passion for rock-n-roll and playing the drums, he’s often called by the nickname, Dr. Rock. Naming the new K9 in honor of Dad seemed like a great way to celebrate the donation.” ~Sam Standring, General Manager of Sonitrol of Muncie
Sonitrol of Muncie is looking forward to meeting Officer K9 Rock, and we are thankful for our law enforcement heroes.
Happy Birthday, EPD Officer K9 Doc!
Sonitrol’s favorite officer, EPD K9 Doc, (named in honor of our founder, Doc Standring), is celebrating his 7th birthday today! We want to say thank you to K9 Doc’s human, Officer John Montgomery, and the Southern Indiana Police Canine Association Inc., for visiting us at Sonitrol this morning. We loved seeing K9 Doc playing with his new toys, and we hope you have a great day patrolling Evansville and serving our community. Join us in wishing K9 Doc the happiest of birthdays!
