According to the Maine IFW website, Corp. Bellanceau has been a warden since 2012 and a K9 Handler since 2016. Corp. Bellanceau has been the K9 Corporal since 2019. As one of the oldest conservation related K9 units in the country, his vision is to continue the incredible work done by the handlers and K9s by improving training methods and working closely with other agencies and K9 organizations.
