Amador County, CA — Two Amador County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) deputies put their shooting skills to the test and walked away with a reward that they passed on to their four-legged deputies.
The 13th Annual Top Cop Challenge was held in August. ACSO Sergeant Kyle Wilson and Deputy Rick Tran competed as a team in the shooting competition, which brings together first responders from around the area. They competed for cash prizes that were then donated to organizations of their choice.
With a second-place team honors win, the pair, seen holding a check for $2,000 in the image box, selected the Amador County Deputy Sheriff’s K9 Fund as the recipient. It is unclear what the funds will be used for. However, last month at its 4th Annual Fundraiser Dinner in Jackson, the proceeds supported the program by providing specialized equipment and additional training.
“A big thank you to Sergeant Wilson and Deputy Tran, as well as the Top Cop organization, for a job well done!” praised sheriff’s officials.
