Teamwork in Action: K9 Mac Tracks Down Wanted Suspect On May 4, around 9:30 a.m., Hillsboro Police officers received information that a wanted individual was in the area of Jackson School Village Apartments. Officers coordinated with K9 Handler Mesch and his partner, K9 Mac, to locate the suspect. What followed was a strong example of how teamwork and a determined K9 can make a difference. K9 Mac quickly picked up the track and led officers into a nearby forested area. During the search, the team encountered a large, downed log blocking their path. While Handler Mesch climbed over the obstacle, Mac’s smaller size allowed him to maneuver underneath, continuing the track without losing momentum. That persistence paid off. With K9 Mac leading the way, officers located Christopher Jordan Lloyd and took him into custody safely and without further incident on a Washington County felony parole warrant. Moments like this highlight the training, coordination, and partnership that go into every K9 deployment and how each member of the team plays a critical role. - Want to see K9 Mac in action? He will be competing at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office K9 Trials on May 16. Community members are encouraged to come out and support. #HillsboroPD #K9Unit #CommunityFirst #PublicSafety #Teamwork #PoliceK9 #TrustInAction
