The St. Croix County Sheriff's Office has three very valuable K9 handler teams within the patrol division:
Deputy Josh Stenseth and partner Roan. Roan is a Belgian Malinois. They have been working as a team for the Sheriff's Office since early 2018.
Deputy Jordan Smith and partner Ares. Ares is a Belgian Malinois from the Netherlands. They have been working as a team since 2019.
Deputy Fred Mangine and partner Ash. Ash is a male Dutch Shepherd from Germany. They have been working together as a team since 2020.
Each team is cross trained with all patrol functions, including narcotics detention.
Our K9 units are available on a 24 hour, on-call basis to conduct building searches for offenders in hiding; assist in the arrest or prevent the escape of serious or violent offenders, protect officers and others from death or serious injury; track suspects, or locate lost or missing persons, hidden instrumentalities or evidence of a crime; and detect the presence of concealed narcotics.
All our K9's are certified yearly through the US Police Canine Association.
