Opportunities to  Meet the K9s

Sometimes, a one time event or something unusual may come up that will involve the K9 teams. If this is a public event, we will post the details in all out media outlets

The Washoe County K9s and their deputies often do meet and greet opportunities within the communities they serve. Whenever one is scheduled, we will post it here, on the blog, and on our Facebook site. This is a chance to get out and see the dogs and take pictures.

Sometimes you can pet one of the dogs, but it depends on the situation. Always ask the deputy if it’s okay to pet them before reaching for the dog, especially if you have children wanting to do it. While our dogs are socialized, they are still trained police dogs, so it’s best to ask first.
