DOTHAN:
The Houston County Sheriff’s Office is proud to spotlight one of its newest K-9 Unit members — K9 Rolo, a highly trained 2-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who joined the agency all the way from Greece.
K9 Rolo was generously purchased through a donation from a local resident who wished to remain anonymous — a tremendous show of support for school safety and the deputies who protect our community.
Assigned to the School Resource Officer (SRO) Division, Rolo teams up with Deputy Jason Myers to help safeguard students and staff on campuses across Houston County. Rolo specializes in Firearms and Explosives Detection, providing an added layer of security in our school system.
With strong drive and energy, Rolo gives his all on the job — and enjoys plenty of running, playing, and downtime with his handler’s family when he’s off duty.
Sheriff Donald Valenza says he’s proud to welcome Rolo to the HCSO K-9 family, which now includes nine skilled teams featuring a variety of breeds including Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, German Shepherds, and Bloodhounds — all serving with unwavering dedication.
💙 Welcome to the pack, K9 Rolo!
