K9 COPS
Working as a K-9 officer brings the definition of ‘ man ’ s best friend ’ to a whole new level , so it helps to be a dog lover . Rob Wilson , Senior Constable Team Leader of the dog unit with Windsor Police Services , currently works with his second canine partner Vegas . Wilson ’ s first partner Quincy retired from his career stretching from 2005 to 2012 , the same day Vegas started . “ Vegas and I have a strong bond and he ’ s on the road twelve hours a day riding around with me in the truck . We ’ re a team . Vegas trusts me and I trust him with his abilities and I know his limits .”
