Vancouver Police Department K9 Enzo retires (Photo) - 04/23/18

Vancouver, Wash. –On April 18, 2018, the Vancouver Police Department retired K9 Enzo. He went into service for the Vancouver Police Department on October 24, 2012 and his handler is Officer Brian Viles. During his service with the Vancouver Police Department, K9 Enzo was responsible for:

  • Total Suspect deployments – 662
  • Total Drug searches – 159
  • Total evidence searches – 35
  • Total captures – 149              
  • SWAT deployments – 76
  • Public demonstrations – 81

With the retirement of K9 Enzo, Officer Viles is also transitioning out of the K9 Unit. He has been a member of the K9 Unit since 2007; Enzo was Officer Viles’ third K9. The Vancouver Police Department will be selecting K9 handlers and purchasing new K9’s to fill vacancies in the unit.

Enzo was originally purchased thanks to a donation from the Westfield Shopping Center to the Vancouver Police K9 fund. The K9 Fund accepts donations to purchase K9’s, cover equipment and other expenses of the unit. Donations to the K9 Fund may be sent to the Vancouver Police Department K9 Fund, 605 E Evergreen Blvd., Vancouver WA 98661.

Enzo will continue living with the Viles family. We wish K9 Enzo many happy years of retirement!
