K9 Boomer

Routt County Sheriff’s Office (Colorado)

Boomer was a Belgian Malinois from the Czech Republic, he worked the road for over 6 years as a dual purpose K9 for the Routt County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado.  He was hardcore and only liked a few people.  He loved patrol work, narcotics detection, but his true love was tracking.  When we would do a track, especially for deployment purposes, he kicked into an entirely different mindset and gear.  There was nothing better than finding the bad guy who was running, or better yet hiding.  Over the years, Boomer’s accomplishments included locating many small and large amounts of illegal narcotics, forcing fleeing or uncooperative suspects to give up, and protecting not only me, but other officers.  He never stopped working, he was always a fighter, even after retirement.  We thank everyone who helped us over the years, especially those who molded us into the fighting team we became.  I miss him dearly, he was truly something special and will never be forgotten.

After 25 years of law-enforcement, I truly felt safe knowing he was by my side or just a button push away.
