View all 14 ReflectionsAs the current Sheriff of Audrain County, I will say, Andy was injured and passed before I could know him well.
My passion is police dogs, and my current dog (which I'm training as I type this) is K9 Andi (a female GSD) and is named in his memory.
She will do what Andy did day to day - what she can to protect the fine people of Audrain County.
I'm honored to handle his name sake - a fearless, dedicated member of the Audrain County Sheriff's Office.
