We would like to introduce the newest member to our unit, K9 Duran. Deputy Wilson began his training with Duran today at Excel K9 in Hiram Township. They will be completing an intense six week course prior to state testing.

Duran is a shepherd who was imported from the Czech Republic.

Deputy Wilson and his family chose the name Duran as it was his former partner's, K9 Ash, original Czech name. K9 Ash unfortunately passed away after an emergency medical condition in December of 2025.

We wish Deputy Wilson the best during the next six weeks and we look forward to having K9 Duran protecting Geauga County in the near future!

A common question asked is if we have other dogs. Most canine handlers do. It does take time to acquaint them but they normally accept each other. Rookie got a new bed today and let Jax try it out!
