To Coos County residents, With narcotic work being mostly behind the scenes, day and night, I am aware we are not as public as maybe we should be. With the case work that is done in these investigations, often time one case leads into another. Thus, making it hard to be as transparent as we would often like to be. We are proud of the work we do and the seizures we take off the streets. With this in mind, I would like to introduce you to one of the longest standing narcotics detections K9’s in our area. Katie has been working on narcotics detection for well over ten years. She is a very energetic puppy and you would never guess she is thirteen. K9 Katie has been a long-time teammate with her handler Parole and Probation Officer (SCINT) McKenzie Davis. Prior to her work with Officer Davis, she was handled by now Oregon State Police Trooper Brian Looney. K9 Katie has been instrumental in numerous cases with SCINT and our local and federal partners. K9 Katie has taken a large amount of controlled substances off the street. So much that I dare not give a guess on weights. I don’t know how to put into words the work and dedication that K9 Katie and Officer M. Davis have put towards narcotic detection. Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for K9 Katie she is going to retire in June of this year. It has been my pleasure to work along side this team and I am going to truly miss watching her work. But it is time for her to graduate into the house and have all the toys she has been chasing. She will retire into the home of Officer M. Davis and live a happy and pampered life. I will say, I am not sure how they are going to deal with all the energy K9 Katie still has. I will attach some images of K9 Katies work. I hope you all can send her happy thoughts into her more than deserved retirement. SCINT has purchased another puppy that will hopefully pick up K9 Katie’s work. Officer M. Davis will continue as a detection K9 handler. However, we will introduce that at another time. Again, thank you K9 Katie and happy retirement! Sincerely, Aaron Whittenburg Sergeant/ SCINT DirectorPhotos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post Featured News by Coos County Sheriff
