K9 Trooper Justin Bell and Tilly stopped by to visit with the Animal Club. Bell has been a member of the state police since 2014. Tilly is a 3 year old bloodhound.
State Police have been using bloodhounds since the 1930s. The bloodhounds specialize in the tracking of people, including missing persons.
Tilly and Trooper Bell recently helped locate two missing students in Hudson. In July 2020, Tilly and Bell located a car theft suspect from Ulster County who was hiding from officers. In December 2019, a man was found by the pair, hiding in a barn, after fleeing a traffic stop on foot. And in August 2019, the pair located an endangered adult who was lost in a wooded area in temperatures that exceeded 90 degrees. The person had Alzheimer’s disease and was missing more than four hours, but Tilly located the victim within 15 minutes of picking up the scent.
Thank you Trooper Bell and Tilly!
