MCLEAN COUNTY – Three McLean County Emergency Management Agency employees earned new certifications from the National Search Dog Alliance last weekend.

McLean Emergency Agency Facebook states that Handler Joan Brehm and K9’s Rip and Jessie passed their disaster certifications in Missouri.

Rip is trained in live finds and Jessie is trained in human remains.

COVID-19 has made us more aware of the risk.  Going to work every day for some people means…
