The K-9 Unit is an extremely important service for Law Enforcement. Our K-9 Deputies share a very deep and personal bond with their K-9 partners and are an intricate part of our abilities to protect Brevard County.

Sang and K-9 Rocco love coming to work each and every day. Rocco loves to track and sniff out drugs and recently alerted on a vehicle that had a trap door under the passenger seat, which contained a kilo and a half of heroin. Rocco also loves to perform at demonstrations with children, and of course, he loves wearing his sunglasses. He can also been seen in a number of our Public Service Announcements and Crime Prevention Videos giving me a very difficult time. (BCSO image)
