ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco III is pleased to announce the newest addition to the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) with the K9 Team of PO Mark Colon and K9 Reedy. K9 Reedy is a 14-month-old German Shepherd from Poland. The RCSO was able to purchase K9 Reedy utilizing asset forfeiture money.

K9 Reedy is named in honor of Patrol Officer Michael J. Reedy of the Orangetown Police Department. On August 2, 1973, PO Reedy along with PO Thomas Kennedy were struck and killed by a drunk driver’s vehicle while they were directing traffic at an accident scene on Route 303 in Blauvelt.

Next week, PO Colon and K9 Reedy will start Patrol School run by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Upon successful completion of this long and intensive training, K9 Reedy will be certified in tracking, evidence recovery, criminal apprehension, handler protection and narcotics detection.

In what many are calling a true team effort, the Clarkstown PBA capped off an undefeated season with a dominant championship victory. After an impassioned halftime speech by player/coach Dowen, the CPD PBA team rallied to a 20pt lead and never looked back. Congratulations!
