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.

As Memorial Day weekend and prom/graduation season approach, our SROs are working proactively to help students understand the real-life consequences of dangerous driving decisions.

Using Fatal Vision Goggles, students got a powerful, hands-on experience showing how alcohol and drug impairment can affect vision, balance, and reaction time—all without ever getting behind the wheel. The experience served as a vivid reminder that just one poor decision can lead to life-altering consequences.

We’re incredibly proud of our students for taking this lesson seriously and grateful to our SROs for their ongoing dedication to keeping our community safe.

Let’s all do our part to ensure this season is remembered for the right reasons. Stay safe and drive responsibly!
