Heard about South Carolina’s new Fargo’s Law concerning law enforcement K9s? 🐕
Under the new law:
🐾 Taunting, teasing, striking, or interfering with a police K9 is now a misdemeanor.
🐾 Injuring or killing a police K9 is now a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
🐾 Offenders can also be required to pay restitution for veterinary care, training, and replacement costs.
Our K9s are not just animals, they are our loyal partners who help keep deputies and communities safe every single day.

Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office K9 Team Locates Vehicle Breaking and Entering Suspect! Dep. Andrew Nichter and K9 Taro responded to a report of a Breaking and Entering into a motor vehicle on 5/25/26. Once on scene it was determined that multiple vehicles had been broken into in the area. A witness saw the suspect run behind some homes after exiting a vehicle and Dep. Nichter deployed K9 Taro from the place the suspect was last seen. K9 Taro located a set of keys and a hat along the trail. K9 Taro began to get tired, so Dep. Nichter gave him a break while a second dog continued the trail. At that time, a perimeter unit observed a truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed and attempted a traffic stop after the vehicle ran a red light. The suspect jumped and ran from the vehicle after driving down a dead-end road. Dep. Nichter arrived and deployed K9 Taro from the driver’s side door of the truck. The North Carolina K9 Team trailed through thick brush, woods, and back yards. Deputies in the area heard sticks breaking in the wood line ahead of the K9 team and began to give K9 warnings. The suspect gave up and was taken into custody. It was later discovered that the suspect had stolen the truck from the neighborhood of the Breaking and Entering occurrences.
Great Trail Dep. Nichter and K9 Taro! Thanks to Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, NC for their commitment to creating a safer community!

Our explosives detection K9, Riggs, found a missing firearm within a 20-acre area.
Someone reported they lost a firearm somewhere within a large area near some homes. Deputy Stanley and Riggs responded to assist with the search.... And found it in just 18 minutes. Without a K9 team, it could have taken hours to cover so much ground.
Thank you to Deputy Stanley and K9 Riggs for using their specialized skills to keep our community safe!

Our Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Northern Nevada Drug Task Force detectives, assisted by our K9 Unit and the Regional Narcotics Unit, recently seized approximately 351 grams of fentanyl following an investigation stemming from a traffic stop in Reno.
Philip Benson, 47, was arrested and charged with multiple felony offenses, including:
• Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Sell
• Possession of a Controlled Substance (Fentanyl, 42+ grams)
• Trafficking a Controlled Substance (100–400 grams)
• Trafficking Fentanyl (42+ grams)
As little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be considered a potentially lethal dose for an average-sized adult. This seizure equates to approximately 175,500 potentially lethal doses.
Strong collaboration between our detectives, K9 Unit, and regional law enforcement partners continues to play an important role in removing dangerous narcotics from our community and helping keep our region safe.
