The 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭 recently returned from an incredible weekend at the inaugural 𝙵𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚙𝚢 𝙺𝟿 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 in Sebring!
The conference brought together first responder therapy K9 teams from across the region for several days of education, collaboration, and professional development. Our team participated in advanced training sessions focused on strengthening therapy K9 programs and learning new ways to better support both our agency members and the community during times of crisis.
One of the most rewarding parts of the weekend was the opportunity to connect with fellow handlers from law enforcement and first responder agencies. Sharing experiences, exchanging training ideas, and building lasting relationships reinforced the importance of this work and the positive impact therapy K9s have on those they serve.
We returned home with new knowledge, valuable connections, and an even greater appreciation for the role these remarkable dogs play every day in supporting first responders and our community.
A heartfelt thank you to the organizers, presenters, sponsors, and everyone who helped make this inaugural conference such a success. We're proud to have been part of this milestone event alongside Golden Paws Crisis Care K9s™ Rollie and Valor, and are already looking forward to next year! 👏

3rd Precinct Deputy Hopson responded to a call about a week-old baby raccoon that had been found alone, without its mother. With care and compassion, Deputy Hopson safely took the tiny raccoon into his care and transported it to CROW on Sanibel Island, where wildlife experts will provide the specialized treatment and rehabilitation it needs.
Thanks to Deputy Hopson’s quick response, this healthy little raccoon has a second chance. Without intervention, it would have faced the dangers of the beach and extreme heat on its own.
We’re proud of Deputy Hopson’s commitment to protecting not only our community, but also the wildlife that calls Southwest Florida home.
Thank you, Deputy Hopson, for making a difference—one life at a time! 🦝💚

What started as a wellness check turned into something much more…
When 1st Precinct Deputy Kirby responded to a call in North Fort Myers, he found no medical emergency—but he did find a home with indoor temperatures soaring above 90° after the A/C had failed. Learning the resident wasn`t in a position to replace the unit, he knew he couldn`t just walk away.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Pete Flatter, manager of Home Depot Store #3119, a brand-new window A/C unit was donated. Deputy Kirby and Deputy Drummond delivered and installed it, bringing cool air and comfort to a grateful resident.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. This is what community is all about; neighbors truly helping neighbors. 💙❄️
