Good boy, Lux! 🐾

Last weekend, K9 Lux from the Lake County, IL, Sheriff's Office was called in after an intoxicated man damaged a family member's home and fled the area. Lux quickly picked up the man's scent and tracked him a short distance before locating him hiding behind a row of bushes near a neighboring residence.

When the man initially refused to surrender, K9 warnings were issued — and Lux made his presence known. The man surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody without incident.

Outstanding work by K9 Lux and Deputy Forlenza. This is exactly why we do what we do. 💙

After 6 years of dedicated service, K9 Ranger is hanging up his VIK9s vest for retirement!! This incredible K9 has had an incredible career keeping his community safe and we're honored to have helped keep him save while doing it.

Officials said Ranger completed about 85 deployments and played a key role in helping law enforcement remove illegal drugs from communities in Saline County (AR) and beyond during his career. Officials said the K9 assisted in numerous investigations that led to significant drug seizures and the arrest of suspected offenders.

Ranger served alongside his handler, Lt. Bree Sharver, throughout his career. As he enters retirement, officials said the veteran K9 will spend his days on the farm with Sharver after completing a career marked by what officials called numerous law enforcement successes.

Congrats on your retirement, K9 Ranger! May your days be filled with balls, belly rubs and lots of love.
