The
Greater Columbia Obedience Club (GCOC) donated funds to the
Richland County Sheriff's Office Canine Unit on February 7,
2002.
Sheriff Leon Lott accepted the donation from GCOC member
Lynn McClure. Also present were Jon Fins, the Sheriff's
Office Foundation Board Member, Canine Unit trainer Sgt.
Lewis Marshall, Deputy Kathy Jarvis and K-9 Rommel, and
Deputy Michael Grazioso and K-9 Falco. This donation will be
used for the canine training program.
Additionally, GCOC's German Shepherd team donated a
bulletproof vest to the Unit.
After Sheriff Lott thanked GCOC and the German Shepherd team
for their donations, Deputy Jarvis and Deputy Grazioso gave
a demonstration of their dogs' abilities. Sgt. Marshall
answered questions after the demonstration.
