K-9 Unit
The Crawford County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit was established in 2014 with K-9 Breck and Handler Joseph Breeser. During K-9 Breck’s tenure, his alerts were responsible for the seizure of 6.15 pounds of methamphetamine, four pounds of marijuana, 2 ounces of psilocybin mushrooms, crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin, LSD, ecstasy, fentanyl, and numerous other controlled narcotics. Additionally, K-9 Breck’s alerts led to eight federal narcotics indictments.
K-9 Breck and Deputy Breeser were members of the Wisconsin Canine Handlers Association (WLECHA) where they received a prestigious statewide award for Meritorious Narcotics Find in 2022. After eight years of dedicated service, K-9 Breck succumbed to medical issues.
