Lamont McClure and Sheriff Richard Johnston congratulate Deputy Sheriff Stephen Tuxhorn and his K-9 partner, Boomer, for placing first in the explosive detection event at the East Coast K-9 Trials this past weekend. The trials were held at the Charles Chrin Community Center in Palmer Township with 10 different law enforcement agency K-9 units participating.

Boomer is a Chocolate Labrador trained in explosive detection. He joined the Northampton County Sheriff’s Department in July 2019 and works with Deputy Tuxhorn checking packages in the mailroom, loading docks and other locations. Boomer is also available to work as a tracking dog should a child or confused person go missing.
