Canutillo ISD Police Department celebrates the retirement of their very first K9 officer, Alis, after seven years of dedicated service, as confirmed in a recent social media post by the Canutillo ISD Police Department. Joining the force in 2018, K9 Alis distinguished herself in narcotics and weapons detection, contributing to a safer school environment. Her capability for connecting with students was noted as instrumental in fostering relationships between law enforcement and the young community.
Throughout her tenure, Alis's impact was felt beyond her primary duties, as she played a vital role in the Canutillo ISD, a role that extended to building trust and ensuring the safety of students and staff; her retirement marks the end of a successful career in law enforcement and the beginning of her much-deserved restful days. "K9 Alis, you will be greatly missed," the Canutillo ISD Police Department shared in their tribute, acknowledging her contributions and expressing gratitude for the secure atmosphere she helped create.
Her handler, Sgt. Andres Hernandez will welcome Alis into his home as she transitions into a well-earned retirement. Echoing the department's sentiments, the Canutillo community recognizes the standard of excellence set by K9 Alis, a bar that future K9 officers will strive to reach.
