NIKKI
November 9, 2002
Handler: Officer Tim Tonsor
High Point Police Department
1009 Leonard
Avenue
High
Point, North Carolina 27260-5321
Nikki was Tim's second dog, a Beuceron, looked like a Doberman
on steroids. Nikki was a great dog and about four to five years
into
his K-9 work, he developed cancer of the jaw and had to have surgery which
caused him to be retired, he couldn't bite that hard
any more. Tim kept him at home after that. Nick as I called
him, was a phenomenal tracker. I think he went through his
career with about a 50% tracking success, which is very, very
high.

Retired Nebraska State Patrol dog Nero, who was known for his
drug seizures, died suddenly Sunday afternoon. Jerry Schenck,
the retired trooper who handled Nero, said the dog was about 13
years old and had been in good health. He suffered an embolism,
which caused his body to fill with blood, Schenck said. Nero, a
Dutch shepherd, was the first patrol dog to join Troop C, which
has its headquarters in Grand Island.
He began
his work in May 1992 with the badge number 337R and retired with
Schenck in December 1997. During his six years of service, he
helped seize approximately fifty million dollars worth of
drugs. Schenck said, "Drugs were his forte, he was a great drug
dog." He was also used to track suspects in buildings or large
open areas and was trained to protect Schenck and other law
enforcement agents. Nero also loved children. Schenck said he
often took the dog to schools to give demonstrations and to talk
about the dangers of drug abuse. He said he could let Nero go
into a crowd of children to play and be petted, which is a rare
trait for a police service dog. "He loved going to schools,"
Schenck said. The duo also had a business for a few years called
Nero the Hero, he said. Together, they did drug searches at
schools. "As Nero got older, I let him be a dog," he said. No
special services are planned for Nero. Schenck said he buried
the dog on Monday on his acreage at 1030 McMartin Ave. "I buried
him as my family," he said. In an e-mail sent to The Independent
on Monday, Schenck wrote, "Nero was my friend and partner, and
he left me with many, many great memories."

AFTER
ACCIDENTAL
FALL
Ronald
L.
Iden,
Assistant
Director
in
Charge
of
the
FBI
in
Los
Angeles,
regrets
to
announce
the
death
of
Nikko,
an
FBI
Search
and
Rescue
dog
who
suffered
an
accidental
death
while
on
duty
for
the
FBI
in
Portland,
Oregon.
Nikko,
a
German
Shepherd
Cadaver
Detection
K9,
assigned
to a
Special
Agent
of
the
FBI's
Los
Angeles
Division,
was
five
2
years
old
at
the
time
of
his
death
Nikko
and
his
Special
Agent
handler
were
dispatched
to
the
Portland
Division
of
the
FBI
on
August
5,
2002
to
assist
in
the
ongoing
search
of
kidnap
victims
in
the
Portland
area.
Nikko
was
one
of
many
dogs
participating
in
the
search
and
was
cross-trained
for
multiple
specialties.
The
dogs
were
preparing
for
a
search
when
the
tragedy
occurred.
Nikko
had
participated
in
several
investigations
conducted
by
the
FBI
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
investigation
into
the
location
of
homicide
victims
in
Yosemite,
California,
the
investigation
of
the
site
of
the
September
11th,
2001
crash
at
the
Pentagon
in
Washington,
D.C.
and
the
recovery
of a
homicide
victim
buried
four
feet
deep
in
Riverside,
California.
Most
recently,
Nikko
accurately
indicated
for
investigators
the
bodies
of
two
homicide
victims
submerged
more
than
300
feet
deep
in a
northern
California
lake.
In
addition
to
criminal
investigations,
Nikko
boosted
morale
for
FBI
employees
in
Los
Angeles
by
demonstrating
his
skills
at
official
events.
Nikko
conducted
presentations
and
demonstrations
for
the
FBI's
Junior
Special
Agents
at
various
elementary
schools
and
was
always
considered
the
highlight
of
the
yearly
program.
Nikko
was
a
loyal
public
servant
dedicated
to
his
FBI
family
and
will
be
missed
dearly
by
all
those
whose
lives
he
touched.
Search
and
Rescue
dogs
are
an
integral
part
of
many
investigations
conducted
by
law
enforcement
at
all
levels
and
their
work
often
goes
unnoticed
due
to
its
sensitivity.
Search
and
Rescue
dogs
work
enthusiastically
and
without
complaint
in
physically
and
mentally
stressful
environments.
Currently,
there
are
six
cadaver
detection
K-9
handler
teams
in
the
FBI.
Each
has
been
tested
to
stringent
standards
set
in
their
respective
areas.
Nikko
was
certified
in
search
for
live
humans,
the
detection
of
cadaver/human
remains
and
the
detection
of
United
States
currency.
Nikko
was
certified
by
the
State
of
California
Office
of
Emergency
Services
and
the
California
Rescue
Dog
Association.
He
trained
regularly
with
police
patrol
canines,
search
and
rescue
groups
and
the
Los
Angeles
Sheriff's
Department
Search
Dogs.
His
handler
is a
member
of
the
Los
Angeles
County
Police
Canine
Association.
In
spite
of
ever
increasing
technological
capabilities,
a
dog's
scenting
and
hunting
ability
is
unmatched.
