    Rollo On September 9th, 2018, Deputies Dunn and Davis traveled to Sector K-9 in Midlothian, Texas to begin a two-week training with their new partners. When class began they met their new dual-purpose dogs. Deputy Davis was paired with Rollo, an 18-month-old Belgian Malinois. Both deputies were prior dog handlers with other agencies. Over the course of their two-week training, they worked on drug detection, criminal apprehension, article searches, tracking, and trailing. These dogs will be huge assets to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office with combating illegal drugs.

    Thank you for your Support! We are so grateful to the citizens of Franklin County for their support. This family stopped by to say "Hi!' and brought our deputies some homemade treats.
    What a great way to spend the day! Our deputies love to be able to get out and see our citizens. The Washington Town and Country Fair allows us to teach the community about some of our special operations, like SWAT.
