It looks like a Hinds County deputy who lost a K-9 officer to heat stroke last year is getting another chance with a K-9 officer:
JJ reported in July 2018:
A Hinds County K-9 Officer died of heatstroke in June after his vehicle inexplicably shut down while he was in the car.The vehicle was not equipped with a heater alarm, standard equipment in every law enforcement agency in the Jackson metro area except for the Hinds County Sheriff's office at the time.
Multiple sources told this correspondent that the dog's handler stopped at a restaurant and left the dog inside of his vehicle with the engine and its electrical operations running as is standard procedure when leaving the the K-9 officer in the vehicle. However, the vehicle somehow shut down. The 5 1/2 year old Belgium German Shepherd, Dex, died of heatstroke. Dex was assigned to Deputy Lafayette Martin.

wait, I'm confused. why was the officer Lafayette Martin not charged and locked up for his original crime? And why are we assigning him another K-9 Officer?
At least now he doesn't have to leave his K9 partner in the vehicle for lunch anymore.
1:53 pm, what do you mean? The story is that the same officer that left his K-9 partner to die in the heated car now has a new K-9 partner. I don't see any restrictions on usage, lunch-related or not.
So this is the same officer that let TWO K-9 die on his watch. The same officer that was given the opportunity the resign or be fired because he wasn't showing up for work. The same officer were another agency had to do a wellness check at his residence and found him at home sleep with his county vehicle running for 24 hours straight.On top of all that Sheriff Luke hired him back CRY ME A RIVER please.
So...If I had killed one of those dogs, I go to jail, but......he doesn't? Hmm....
Everyone calm down. The system in the car which allows for the animals to stay cool malfunctioned (outside of the officers control) the heat alarm was not installed inside the vehicle for whatever reason
So the officer had no clue what was happening. It’s perfectly ok for the dog to be inside the car when everything is functioning correctly.
If I am a canine officer I am leaving my dog with me if I eat lunch he eats lunch is my partner he’s gonna be right there next to me the whole time
As a retired military K9 handler, the dog is 100% the respons of the hhandler. If the Department didnt have heat sensors thats on the Sheriff. If no sensors, NEVER wld lve the Dog to himself. Negligence on the department. Should NOT be respins for another Dog.
5:20: BS. Training mandates that if no heater alarm is installed, the handler is to check on the dog every ten minutes.
less than 60 days and sorry ass Victor, Luke, and the other so called command staff will be gone. Hopefully the poor k-9 can survive that long. This is just another example of this groups total failure. Didn't think it would get worse after Tyrone but damned if it didn't. Hopefully Sheriff Vance can return the Sheriff's Office to some level of professionalism.
This officer has been a problem since the day he began his career. This administration hasn’t made one solid choice for the HCSO. Why would they start now? Place your bets now. He’ll make the news again...
He's now taking shots at me on FB. F him.
Love him or hate him he has seized more drugs and cash than some will their entire careers. We watched him go through it when DeX died.
I believe this is the same Deputy who just shot at an unarmed man who was running from him. Also the last administration got rid of him for lying on reports. This dude is dirty and should not be wearing a badge. I hope Vance gets rid of him. I also understand they hired another K9 handler back that they ran off. Sounds like they are trying to set Vance up with some trash.
Fish let him throw rocks at you. Check with Clinton Police I think they have arrested him a couple of times for Domestic Violence.
