New K9 Handler Joins Warrington Township Police Force

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP PA — Officer Corey Fox has been selected as Warrington’s next K9 handler following a competitive and extensive selection process conducted by K9 officers from outside agencies.

Officer Fox brings an overwhelming amount of experience to the K9 unit and department.

Prior to joining the Warrington Police Department in 2019, he was a SEPTA Transit Police Officer for almost eight years. During that time, he was a handler for five years to a Dutch Sheppard named K9 Kai, who is now retired and is very excited to be a big sister.

Officer Fox’s experience can be traced back to when he was in the K9 Instructor Program at Penn Vet Working Dog Center which was at the same time as Corporal Blanchard and K9 Jolie and Officer Plum and K9 Murphy who were in class.

The 16 Month Old Dutch Shepard, Abby, is Warrington's newest K9 Officer.

Abby is also joining the force as Warrington's newest K9 Officer.

The 16-month-old Dutch Shepard was born in late October of 2021. She comes to the department from Penn Vet Working Dog Center and is named after a K9 who was deployed to the World Trade Center following the attacks on 9/11.

On March 6, K9 Abby and her handler, Officer Fox, attended their first day of Scent Detector School at Penn Vet Working Dog Center. Abby will be trained in the detection of narcotics.
