Sad Loss at NHP

We share our sorrow in the loss of K9Jill at the Nevada Highway Patrol. This is their post:

It’s with heavy hearts we regret to share the passing of K9 Jill. K9 Jill, a 5-year-old Springer Spaniel, served both Northern and Southern Commands as a narcotics detection canine. Her presence was a joy to anyone that met her, especially to the elementary school students she loved to visit. Last night, she was rushed to the veterinary hospital after suffering a medical emergency. Despite best efforts, K9 Jill succumbed to her illness. The Nevada Highway Patrol will not be the same without her running up and down the halls in search of belly rubs. Thank you for your service to the great state of Nevada, K9 Jill. You will be so missed. EOW: April 12, 2021 #NevadaHighwayPatrol#EOW#K9#Honor#Duty#Service

Barks & Badges Scheduled

SAVE THE DATE!! Hello K9 friends! With Covid restrictions in mind and knowing that we may have to cancel depending on the rules in June, we are tentatively scheduling our annual Barks and Badges event for June 26th at Bartley Ranch. Please keep us in mind and put us on your calendars!!

If you’ve been before, you know that we really “put on the dog”, so to speak, haha. We work in conjunction with the WCSO to bring you K9 demos of every kind, plus many other fun and interesting Sheriff’s Office equipment and personnel. It’s a great day for kids and adults alike! Feel free to share, and download and print our poster for display. Thank you so much for your continued support! You make our community a safer place!

Several K9 Partners board members attended the promotion ceremony for Sgt. Zirkle on Monday, Feb. 24, 2021. While we congratulate him on his promotion to Lieutenant, we will miss him as he takes on his new duties. To show our appreciation, we presented Lt. Zirkle with a remembrance item for his assistance and patience with our organization. We wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career.
