Officer Geoff Albert and K-9 Taz

On July 10, 2010, due to budget cuts, the West Sacramento Police Department lost the K-9 unit of Geoff Albert and K-9 Taz. Geoff and Taz were in the unit from July 2003 to July 2010. They attended over 2500 hours of training and won numerous trophies in competition. Geoff and Taz saw approximately 400 suspects surrender in their presence and if course over 30 suspects chose not to surrender. Geoff and Taz were a solid, productive and knowledgeable K-9 team. The K-9 Association presented Geoff with a beautiful "THANK YOU" plaque from the unit. Geoff will be sorely missed as an excellent K-9 handler, we hope Taz enjoys his retirement.
