3/5/23 Dodge County Sheriff’s Office Announces Changes in K9 Ranks
5 March 2023 News
The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office had a symbolic changing of the guard when it comes to their K9 ranks over the weekend. Friday was the last day for K9 Tek after nearly 6 years with the SWAT Team and Drug Task Force. During his career, he made 98 arrests with 314 total deployments. Tek’s retirement will mean being able to spend more time with his on-duty partner Lieutenant Taylor Nehls and his family.
Meanwhile his replacement K9 Cade begins his training Monday. Cade was made possible because of a $15,000 donation from the Play 4 Cade organization started by the family of a 14-year-old boy Cade who lost his life in a car accident in Dodge County 6 years ago on March 14th. Cade was a true hero, his organs were donated which resulted in saving the lives of four others. Throughout the years, the Play 4 Cade organization has raised funds that have been donated for scholarships, activities, memorials, to other organizations, and raised awareness for organ donations in memory of Cade. Once training is complete, K-9 Cade and his partner Deputy Matthew Mayer will be assigned to second shift patrol.
