Taylor said. \u201cDuring his tenure at the sheriff\u2019s office, PC assisted in locating numerous suspects and lost individuals and uncovered more than a hundred pounds of illegal drugs. He will be terribly missed by his handler, Deputy Talton, and all of us at the sheriff\u2019s office.\u201dPC also worked with the county SWAT team. In his spare time, he liked to compete in the United States Police Canine Association Trials. He and his handler Talton placed in the competition several times over the years. \u201cPC was not only my friend and partner but he had made an impact on so many other lives. PC made so many friends in the community through public demonstrations and the media,\u201d Talton said in a statement. \u201cK9 PC will be greatly missed by my family, my blue family and most of all by me.
