The Keenesburg PD website recently shared the following heartwarming news. “Late last year, we rallied our amazing community to put together a care package filled with cards, letters, and goodies for Technical Sergeant Blake Krayenhagen, brother of our very own Officer Collins, and his unit, the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing, stationed in Kuwait. Blake and his team have been serving with courage in support of Operation Inherent Resolve and Freedom Sentinel, and we wanted to send a little piece of Keenesburg to brighten their days. Well, folks, the love we sent has come back in the most incredible way! Today, we received a beautiful American flag from the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing as a thank-you for our care package. This isn’t just any flag—it was carried on a mission by Military Explosive Detection Dog Zsineg (call sign E385) and her handler on March 1, 2025, in honor of our very own Police Chief Jim Jensen. The flag comes with a certificate that reads, “This is to certify that this flag of the United States of America was secured with Military Explosive Detection Dog Zsineg/E385 operating in support of Operation Inherent Resolve & Freedom Sentinel and the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing. This flag was carried for Jim Jensen 01 March 2025.” It proudly bears the motto “K9 Leads the Way,” complete with Zsineg’s paw print and her handler’s signature. How cool is that?”
