Meet Our Tehama County
K9 Officers
Red Bluff Police Department
K-9 Aries and Sergeant Bowen
Tehama County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO)
Corning Police Department (CPD)
Aries is a seven year old German Shepherd. He
was brought to the Red Bluff Police Department in
September of 2016 and was originally teamed up
with Officer Talley. Sergeant Bowen, at the time,
worked as an agitator for the K-9 Unit. He assisted
in the training of both Many and Aries.
When Sergeant Talley left the agency, it was then
that Sergeant Bowen was selected to be the next
handler of Aries. Since they were familiar with one
another from prior training's the transition was
pretty smooth in the beginning. Although the
transition went well, Sergeant Bowen says that
Aries was probably a little frustrated at times
since he already knew his job, but was always
patient as Sergeant Bowen was still learning his
role as a handler.
Aries loves his Bowen family and enjoys being
outside and sleeping in his kennel. If you have
passed Sergeant Bowen and K-9 Aries' vehicle you
may have noticed the barking and shaking as he
spins around inside when someone passes the
vehicle. Sergeant Bowen said it is like a Tasmanian
devil inside trying to get out. He is a happy boy
though when he is outside meeting the
community.
Both of RBPD’s K9s are certified in criminal
apprehension and narcotics detection.
