A YEAR OF CHANGE AND DEDICATION:
2024 IN REVIEW FOR THE WCSO K9 TEAM
In 2024, the WCSO K9 Team experienced a year of
change, growth, and reflection. Since 1993, the K9
Team has been a cornerstone of public safety,
continually evolving while maintaining its position
as an industry leader in training and effectiveness.
This year, the team welcomed two new members
and said heartfelt goodbyes to several beloved
canines whose dedication left a legacy.
HONORING OUR RETIREES
This year also marked the retirement of K9 Maize,
who faithfully served the community alongside
Sgt. Pelletteri since 2019. Known for his loyalty
and effectiveness, Maize contributed to countless
successful captures, embodying the team’s mission
of excellence. Now retired, Maize enjoys a wellearned rest with Sgt. Pelletteri and his family.
