Certified as a dual purpose patrol and drug dog, Duro contributed to Glascock County by preforming more than 100 searches and completing more than 100 hours of training each year.

These collaboration efforts helped total approximately $5,000, several pounds of marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and other items.
