K9 Riley

You know the vibes 🇺🇸

Last night, the Stanislaus County Probation Department’s first K9, K9 Bear, was laid to rest. K9 Bear was 16 years old and served the citizens of Stanislaus County for almost 10 years with his handler, Officer Strode. ⁣

K9 Bear and Officer Strode paved the way for the future of the K9 Units in our department. Together they seized over $500,000.00 in narcotics and over $50,000.00 in cash from crimes. Not to mention the countless community and school presentations they conducted during his years of service. ⁣

I personally fell in love with idea of being a K9 handler after having Officer Strode as my FTO, and seeing his bond with K9 Bear. I know Bear is looking down on us and rooting us on! Rest easy buddy, and thank you for your hard work and dedication to the citizens of Stanislaus County.
