The White County Sheriff’s Department sadly said goodbye to K-9 Officer Reno, who passed away over the weekend, about a month before his 13th birthday. Reno joined the White County Sheriff’s Department on September 10, 2012, and was Certified as a single purpose K-9 tracker in 2012. His loving and devoted Handler, Lt. James Blankenship later had Reno certified as a dual-purpose K-9. Reno tracked down many suspects and assisted in locating and seizing illegal narcotics and cash derived from the sell of illegal drugs. Reno will be missed by everyone here at the White County Sheriff’s Department and by all that cared for him.
