Today Sheriff Balaam retired K9 Boomer after 3 years of service with the WCSO. His retirement comes after his handler, Deputy Samuel Van Der Wall’s recent promotion to Sergeant. Sgt. Van Der Wall and Boomer were assigned to the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Task Force, which operates in critical drug-trafficking regions. Thank you Boomer for your hard work and service! #ProudSheriff#K9#K9Retirement
