Bubba, pictured below, is our veteran drug dog. Bubba has been
with the Fulton Police Department for 14 years. He has been
responsible for numerous searches which resulted in the confiscation
of drugs and money. Bubba, who is 17 years old, is semi retired
and is presently living with his handler, lt. Lyla Robbins. Lt.
Robbins and Bubba have been doing programs in our local schools.
In October 2004, to celebrate “Red Ribbon
Week” at Hatton Elementary school,
they did an assembly with the entire school. After Bubba did a demonstration
for the younger children, Lt. Robbins met with the 7th and 8th grade
class for a discussion on drug dogs and how they worked.
Bubba also conducted searches of Fulton High School
and Fulton Middle School.
The department purchased a new dog, Buddy (right) in 2002. Buddy
a 2 year old Golden Retriever passed away in the summer of 2004.
Buddy did an excellent job as a drug dog conducting vehicle searches.
He was also used to do locker searches in our public schools. He
recovered marijuana, paraphernalia and a pistol. He will be sadly
missed.
