Herkimer’s forensics class recently welcomed Jason Ploss, who works as a narcotics investigator for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
Ploss brought his K-9, named Fuel, to demonstrate their day-to-day work life. Fuel is 5 years old and works as a narcotics-sniffing dog.
The forensics class taught by science teacher Tekitha Posey was able to ask numerous questions regarding where Ploss and Fuel report for work, what a typical day looks like for them and what requirements are needed to become a narcotics investigator with a K-9 unit.
Students also were able to witness first-hand what Fuel is trained to do.
