K9 Handler John Neeb trained throughout the state of Maine and New Hampshire. During the four week class, Neeb trained over 200 hours, which consisted of 'sniffing' real-life fire scenes for evidence of accelerant. Neeb is a Certified Accelerant Detection K9 Handler through the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. He graduated in August of 2020. Neeb and Mika have to go to at least 50 fires to be re-certified each year. State Farm sponsored Mika and Neeb, allowing the West Fargo Fire Department to have an arson K9.
