K9 Ghost Assists in Major Firearms and Narcotics Operation

On January 2, 2024, Officer Gonzales and K9 Ghost played a critical role in a coordinated law enforcement operation with the Santa Rosa Police Department’s PCI unit. The team served two residential search warrants as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

During the search, K9 Ghost’s keen detection skills led officers and narcotics detectives to multiple firearms within the residence. Further investigation revealed extensive evidence of illegal firearms manufacturing, including silencers, AR-15 kits, lower receivers, and jigs. The investigation also connected the suspect to a storage unit, prompting an addendum search warrant. There, officers located a safe containing a substantial number of assault weapons.

In total, over 28 firearms were seized during the operation. Three individuals were taken into custody and face multiple charges related to narcotics and illegal firearms.

This operation highlights the invaluable role of K9 officers like Ghost, whose training and expertise continue to keep our community safer by assisting in complex investigations and uncovering hidden threats.
