The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday announced it has its first ever detention K-9. The sheriff’s office said Turbo began working at the detention facility on April 21. “After weeks of rigorous training, Turbo and his handler, detention deputy Rachel Wingfield, are prepared to assume their duties in side the detention facility,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. Turbo’s primary task is assisting with the reduction of contraband in the jail. Contraband is an issue troubling detention facilities throughout the country and a problem the sheriff’s office strives to constantly address. Last month, a contract kitchen worker was arrested on suspicion of bringing contraband into the jail and a sheriff’s deputy was arrested and suspended for allegedly bringing contraband into the jail.
