On Saturday, June 1, 2019, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Sheriff’s Office Foundation, will hold the 14th Annual K-9 Trials at Hillsboro Stadium. This is Oregon’s premier police K-9 competition where K-9 units from throughout the region compete for the coveted prize of “Top Dog.”
This free, family event is a great opportunity for the public to connect with local public safety agencies and learn about the talented K-9 units protecting our communities.
Competition events include: area search, agility course, suspect apprehension, handler protection, vehicle extraction and fastest dog. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded to the top three dogs of each event, based on the fastest times. The “Top Dog” designation will be awarded to the overall winner based upon a point system for each event.
In addition to the entertaining competition, spectators will enjoy a safety fair consisting of local public safety agencies, food and drinks available for purchase, and a meet-and-greet with the K-9s after the competition.
Bring the whole family, but please leave pets at home (service animals are okay).
The competition begins at 11 a.m.

Media interested in arranging a K-9 demonstration or interviews the week before the event (including early morning) should contact the Sheriff’s Office Communications Sergeant Danny DiPietro at 503-969-9924 or email WCSOPIO@co.washington.or.us
