Officer Mike Fredendall is the K-9 handler for the Springfield Police Division. He and Rambo, our current canine, completed a 200 hour course together in 2006. Mike and Rambo are State of Ohio certified and must re-certify every two years. They formally train together on a weekly basis, but informally train daily. Together they have been very successful in locating large amounts of drugs and drug related money.
