This week, we talk with Corrections Deputy Jacob Lewis one last time before he leaves us for a patrol position across the river at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. Deputy Lewis, the jail's K9 handler, built our canine narcotics-detection program into a model for other jails across the state. What's going to happen with his partner, K9 Gambit?

Listen in and make a Chelan County Connection! (Watch until the end when K9 Gambit jumps in.) @ChelanCountyGov
