On December 6, 2018 Captain C.F. Davis, Jr. and K-9 "Drego" graduated from the Virginia Department of Corrections Canine School. The twelve-week course certifies both dog and handler in Passive Narcotic Detection. Drego joined the department after serving in Richmond County but could not be utilized until both were certified. "I am very proud of both Captain Davis and Drego for completing this training", said Chief Ashworth. "I also want to thank Sheriff Steve Smith of Richmond County for donating not only Drego but a police vehicle that was already equipped for canine use", Ashworth added.
Captain Davis and Drego will be utilized in the detection of drugs in the Town of Tappahannock and surrounding areas.
