We are sad to announce the passing of our police service dog Pit. Pit's death was unexpected and a result of an unforeseen medical issue. Pit was the ninth police service dog to serve the community. The department would like to recognize Corporal Hester for his dedication to the K-9 program as well as his skill as a K-9 handler.
Rest in Peace Pit you are deeply missed.

We want to thank the community for all of their support during this troubling time. Citizens from our city along with members of protect paso have hung blue ribbons, thank you signs among other signs. We truly appreciate all of this and I honestly have to say I teared up a little the other day seeing all of this as I was pulling out of the station. We have also been receiving food trays and other food items from our citizens on a daily basis. THANK-YOU!!!
