End of Watch for K9 Iko — 5/18/2026

K9 Iko began his service in January 2015 and dedicated the last 10 years to protecting and serving alongside his handlers and fellow officers with unwavering loyalty, courage, and heart. More than just a partner, Iko was family, a trusted teammate, and a constant source of strength to everyone who had the honor of working beside him.

After a long and honorable career, Iko retired in 2025. In the end, he passed doing what he loved most — surrounded at home by his family, his fellow K9 handlers, and his dad.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and the countless lives you touched along the way. Your watch may have ended, but your legacy never will.

Rest easy, K9 Iko. End of Watch: 5/18/2026 🖤🐾

We are so glad to hear K9 Ty is okay and on the road to recovery. We wish him and his partner the best on the road back to doing what they do best.

EARLY MORNING TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO FELONY ARREST

Early this morning on Interstate 80 in the City of Dixon, deputies encountered a vehicle traveling at a dangerously slow speed, creating a hazard for other motorists. When a Solano County Sheriff’s Office K9 deputy attempted a traffic stop, the driver failed to yield, leading to a pursuit.

With assistance from the California Highway Patrol, a spike strip was successfully deployed, bringing the vehicle to a stop near I-80 and Travis Boulevard.

The driver remained uncooperative and refused repeated commands. After multiple attempts to gain compliance, K9 Ty was deployed to assist with the arrest. During the apprehension, the suspect violently attacked Ty, stabbing him multiple times in the neck and leg.

Ty was immediately pulled to safety by his handler and rushed to a nearby emergency veterinary clinic, where he was stabilized before being transferred to UC Davis Veterinary Hospital for surgery.

We are relieved to share that K9 Ty is now recovering at home. He is in stable condition and in good spirits.

The suspect was taken into custody, medically cleared at a local hospital, and booked into the Solano County Jail.

We are incredibly grateful to the teams at Solano-Napa Pet Emergency Clinic and UC Davis Veterinary Hospital for their lifesaving care. We also extend our sincere thanks to the California Highway Patrol, Vacaville Police Department, and Fairfield Police Department for their assistance.

K9 Ty’s bravery and dedication are a powerful reminder of the risks our K9 partners face in the line of duty. 💙🐾

Even our canines find themselves in a sticky situation every now and again.

K9 Cheeto located a very important piece of evidence today… a giant stick.

The only problem? It appears to be too large to fit comfortably in the car.

We’re currently working on convincing K9 Cheeto that not every stick needs to go home with him 😆🐾

During a recent incident, deputies located a suspect who had previously fled after committing a felony assault by ramming their vehicle into another vehicle at a local gas station. When contacted, the individual was uncooperative and attempted to run.

As the situation rapidly unfolded, a K-9 was deployed. The suspect immediately surrendered. Deputies showed excellent judgment by quickly calling off the K-9 and safely taking the individual into custody.

Incidents like this can evolve in seconds. It takes teamwork, communication, and sound decision-making to bring them to a safe resolution.

Outstanding job to B-Nights for their professionalism, quick thinking, and commitment to public safety.

Can you help the local K-9 teams?

We're looking for new locations around sutter county / yuba county where our teams can train. Working in different environments helps our dogs and handlers stay sharp and prepared for the wide range of situations they may encounter while on patrol.

We’re especially interested in locations where we can practice building searches, “suspect” search scenarios (no volunteers needed), and narcotics detection training. Our team brings all necessary training aids with them. All we need is your permission and keys.

Previous training locations have included warehouses, commercial buildings for sale, residences scheduled for demolition, and other vacant or temporarily available spaces.

If you own or manage a property that might work for training, we’d love to hear from you. Please send us a message on Facebook or email at [email protected] with your name, phone number, email address, and a little information about the location.

Shout out to Ada County Sheriff's Office for the idea!

We were saddened to hear of the passing of K9 Odin. He served along side his partner Deputy Leming faithfully for many years. Our deepest condolences go out to Deputy Leming and her family during this difficult time.
