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.

Let's roll out the red carpet for our newest K9 dynamic duo: K9 Gibbs and his trusty handler,
Deputy Stokes from the Tehama County Sheriff's Office! Gibbs, a four-year-old Belgian
Malinois, is a double-duty dynamo. When he isn't sniffing out narcotics he's nabbing the
baddies.
Fresh from their POST training adventure, this pair has already hit the streets. Gibbs is a cool
customer who loves belly rubs and a good quail chase in the backyard (when he’s not chasing
bad guys)
