K9 teams are utilized in many different ways. The primary use of any K9 is through their nose. A K9’s sense of smell is over 100 times greater than a humans allowing them to locate people or contraband quicker and better than their human partners. K9s trained in apprehension are often utilized as a deterrent to potential violent encounters in which the presence and sound of the K9 alone often prevents any force from being used. It is difficult to measure how much more efficient K9 teams are then solo officers or deputies, but we know in our rural county they are an indispensable asset in keeping safe the lives of our deputies, officers, and the community members they serve.

On 2/19/25, Officers received information of a problem property in southern Tehama County where wanted probation offenders had been living and were possibly in possession of multiple firearms. Officers located the trailer of two wanted offenders who refused to answer the door. Multiple warnings were given including an announcement K9 Riggs would be utilized to apprehend them if they did not surrender. Immediately following the K9 warning, three wanted offenders, all on probation exited the trailer and were arrested without incident. Upon searching the trailer Officers located 11 grams of methamphetamine, a digital scale, drug paraphernalia, a shotgun receiver, and two improvised firearms. Multiple vehicles were located on the property, one of which was reported stolen and recovered by an officer from CHP Red Bluff. All three offenders are now facing additional felony narcotics and weapons charges.
On 2/10/25 One of our Red Bluff Officers, Northern Division K-9 Officer, and his K-9 partner Tripp were working Tehama County in the city of Corning when the Red Bluff Officer observed a white pickup without license plates. He initiated an enforcement stop and upon contact, observed multiple indicators of criminal activity. He requested our K-9 Officer to conduct a free air sniff with Tripp. During the free air sniff Tripp alerted to the presence of narcotics and a subsequent search of the vehicle was conducted. The Officers located two loaded and unregistered handguns, marijuana plants, processed marijuana and three fighting roosters! We would like to say thank you to our Officers and K-9 Tripp!
On February 17th, 2025, officers observed a male riding his bicycle southbound on South Main Street. The male was recognized from previous law enforcement contacts as Corey Janic, known to be on Post release Community Supervision (PRCS) out of Tehama County. Officers attempted to stop Corey on his bicycle. Officers activated their overhead emergency lights and sirens, instructing Corey to stop. Corey looked back, yelled something at the officers, and continued pedaling away. Corey was informed over the loudspeaker to stop and that a canine unit was present. Despite this, Corey continued to flee. As Corey rode his bicycle behind Tractor Supply and into the field west of the store, officers were forced to stop their patrol vehicle due to the difficult terrain and pursued Corey on foot. Corporal Lampron deployed his K9 partner, Max, and issued another canine warning announcement. Corey could see Max running with the officers. Corey continued north through the field for approximately 75 yards before raising one hand, signaling that he was giving up. Based on Corey’s indication of surrender, Corporal Lampron called Max off the apprehension. However, Corey did not surrender and continued riding his bicycle towards 165 South Main Street, entering the Flying A trailer park. Corey was last seen by space 66. Several additional canine announcements were made outside the trailer, but Corey did not surrender. Due to Corey’s flight from law enforcement and entry into someone else’s residence, officers checked the front door of the trailer. The door was found to be unlocked but barricaded from inside. Officers pushed the door open, and Corporal Lampron entered the residence with his K9 partner, Max. Max located Corey hiding behind the door and apprehended him. This incident highlights the valuable role K9 units play in our city and county, aiding in the location and apprehension of criminals while ensuring officer safety.
