STORM 

​Storm, a Belgian Malinois born on 01/12/2011, comes from a great blood line.  His grandfather was a Dutch National Champion and he "speaks" Dutch but zero English.  Storm is highly trained and is proficient in narcotics detection. He is a great asset to Precinct 8 and to surrounding agencies when the need for a dog of his expertise is needed. Deputy Billy Williams was selected to be Storm's handler and both hit the streets in October 2012 following several weeks of intense training and certification.  

EVO

In 2015, Precinct 8 was once again selected by K9s4Cops to receive a grant for an additional K9. As a result, K9 "Evo" was selected by Precinct 8 from AMK9 in Anniston, Alabama.  Evo is a Belgian Malinois born on 11/2/2012 in Holland.  He is certified in Obedience, Article Search, Area Search, Tracking, Building Search, Aggression Control and Narcotics Detection.  Evo began patrolling the streets of Precinct 8 in March 2015 and is currently paired with his handler, Deputy Troy Brinkley.

ROCCO​ 

​In 2017, K9 "Rocco" was added to the Precinct 8 K9 team.  Rocco was also granted to us by K9s4Cops and is dually trained in Patrol/Tracking and Explosives detection.  In 2013, Rocco was crowned the K9s4Cops "Fast Dog" Champion at the Texas K9 Officers Conference and Trials.  He posted a sprint speed of 31 mph!  Deputy Thomas Hays was selected to be Rocco's handler and the two of them underwent 9 weeks of specialized handler training before hitting the streets.
