From the Washoe County School District:
The Washoe County School District (WCSD) Police Department has announced that K-9 Amis has passed away. Amis was born in the Czech Republic and trained with Officer Mark Szabo in Texas prior to starting his official duties in the WCSD.
Amis lived with Officer Szabo and his family throughout his time with WCSD until his death due to natural causes earlier this month. “K-9 Amis was a great partner for the nine years we worked together,” said Officer Szabo. “He served our students and staff with distinction and dedication in narcotics detection, and participated in presentations at many of our schools. My family and I miss him very much.”
“We rely on our K-9’s like Amis a great deal because they provide essential services that no one else can,” said Chief Jason Trevino. “They help us convey important messages to our students about drug prevention, and the students love to interact with them. He was an important part of our law enforcement team, and we are grateful for his service to our schools.”
