Lake County, IL. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is excited to introduce Canine Danno! Canine Danno is a 20-month-old male German Shepherd and he is officially the newest Lake County Sheriff’s Office recruit.
Canine Danno met his human partner, Deputy Andrew Martini on April 26, 2021. The two will now undergo two months of intense training. The training will consist of canine psychology, obedience, agility, tracking, scent detection, and more. Following the initial training, Canine Danno will be officially sworn-in as a Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office received nearly 1,000 votes for various canine names during the naming contest from Lake County youth. One lucky winner, 5th grader Norah Gault of Barrington, submitted the name Danno for consideration. Norah is a student in Barrington School District 220.
Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “I think everyone who grew up watching Hawaii Five-O will have a light-hearted appreciation for the name Danno. We are very excited to welcome Canine Danno to our team and we are thrilled Norah Gault selected such a great name. I truly enjoyed the enthusiasm from the youth of our community in helping us pick out a name for our newest canine.”
