On behalf of the East Bay Regional Park Police, please accept our sincere condolence regarding the tragic loss of Joe Kievernagel and Kevin Blount. Our thoughts are also with Eric Henrickson, as well as the involved families.

You often hear communal phrases such as "brotherhood and family" used to describe the common bond agencies feel with the loss of a co-worker. That sense of "brotherhood" is particularly strong in local specialty units, such as aviation. As a fellow aviation family member, we share your recent loss and struggle along with you. Please know that you are not alone and that your "aviation family" is there and willing to lessen your burden anyway we can.

With Our Deepest Regards,

-Andrew D. White
Sergeant/Chief Pilot
East Bay Regional Park Police
Helicopter Unit
Hayward, California

My throughts and prayers are with the families of Jo and Kevin and with Eric and his family. Because of their bravery and dedication, my son, Deputy Mark Limbird, and all of his fellow officers are protected as they carry out their duties on the ground. I will continue to pray for the recovery of Eric.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of those who have paid the ultimate price. No amount of tears can bring them back nor erase their memory from our hearts. They will always be circling above guiding your thoughts and actions as they continue their mission. I to have lost friends in similiar actions in Viet Nam and the loss never goes away. From my unit we send our prayers and heartfelt sympathy to the family.

In God and Dogs We Trust,
Mike Meetze

Please pass on our most sincere sympathies to your staff,the STAR officers, your Department and most-importantly, the families of the officers so tragically killed and injured. You are all in our hearts and prayers....God Bless You All, and Keep You Strong and Safe......

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for the loss of your officers.

I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Stay Safe and God Bless all of you!

My thoughts and prayers are for all those that have been called and those that have lost their loved ones. May God grant a speedy recovery to the one surviving and be there for all that have been affected by this tragic event.

We share your pain in your great loss and offer our condolences. If our unit can be of any assistance in your time of need please do not hesitate to ask. God bless and God's speed to the peacekeepers.

I wanted to pass on my thoughts and prayers for the officers whose lives were lost in the STAR flight accident this week. No matter what aspect of the job you are in, you are always vulnerable. I understand the connection between the K9 teams and their chopper crews and how it will affect both sections. There is no doubt they are still riding your shoulders on calls...albeit from a different viewpoint. Stay safe, and pass on our best wishes to the families.

Hi!!! I used to be a Reserve Deputy Sheriff at Sacramento County Sheriff's Dept. from 1979-1984. I think this is a great site and will enjoy coming into it and seeing what's happening. It's great. When I get back from Florida with my family, I plan on ordering a K9
T-Shirt. I used to have a Sacramento Sheriff's T-Shirt. Actually 2 of them and wore them out. So I'll catch you all later.

Say Yah to da U.P. Eh? Greetings from the wife of a Michigan State Police K9 Officer! You have a great site! My better half is on his third dog with the MSP. The first just had to be put down on Sunday. He was imported from Czechloslovakia (sp?) and a fantastic dog! The 2nd dog is living a great life of retirement with a radio tech. and the third dog is a psychotic working fool! Stay safe!

Four Paws Up !!! Beautiful site, beautiful dogs, and the handlers aren't bad either!!! Seriously this is one of the best looking/professional sites I've ever seen and definitely the best LE site I've ever seen!!! I like the pictures and information about each of the teams as well as the information about the different uses for the K9s. Whoever put this together did an awesome job. I also like the information about upcoming events as I've always wanted to see one of the competitions/demonstrations. Stay safe!!! :D

PS, looking forward to my t-shirt and mug for my desk at work, I'll let you know what I think when I receive them.

Wow, your site is really professional. Its the best k-9 site I've seen yet, and really informative.

Anyways, keep up the great work guys! People do appreciate what you do.

What an amazing site...something that the whole department can be proud of. These officers and their partners are truly brave and dedicated, and this is a perfect way to emphasize all they do for the community.

We are especially proud of the K91 team of Brian and Jimmy and all their hard work each night . Catch a bad guy for us!

Love your girls,
Julie, Maddie, Lily and Gracie

I have always been interested in K-9 and your site has lots of great information to help me pursue my goal. Great job. I can only hope to work with a detail as dedicated as yours in the future.

The web site is outstanding! Great job! What a great way to show everyone what the K9 teams do. You guys are all wonderful and I applaud each and every one of you!

I am especially proud and honored to be Brian's mom. Guess that makes me Jimmy's Gramma! :D

Be safe!

Fantastic job on the website guys! It looks awsome. Sounds like you guys have a great canine program. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Nice job on the web-site. All your hard work has paid off. My family is fortunate to live next door to Jimmy and Brian.

You have a very good site. K-9 is new to my Department. I hope to some day my Department is as dedicated as yours is.

Great site. Even my wife who is just getting used to canine enjoyed it. I'm impressed with the amount of information you have put on it.

What can I say guys? Another class act by the canine detail! Thanks so much for Agbar's tribute. It means a lot and so did all the e-mails of support. This web site really raises the bar for others. Keep raising the bar and please be safe out there.

Great looking website! My Gimlet website is down for renovation, when I get back online I'll give you all a heads up. Take care of the hounds and be safe.

Excellent website, very nicely layed out with nice photos ! Good luck with your website and association.

Outstanding website! Once again the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department leads the rest of the pack. The men and women of the cannine bureau are well deserving of your support. Please take the time to tell your friends, family members and members of the community about this wonderfull organization!!

Amazing Site! Very well designed! fantastic Photos! Keep up the great work guys! Be safe out there! Love the logo! :D

Outstanding website - excellent photos & graphics with a highly effective color scheme woven throughout the site. Once again SSD leads the way. Kudos to all who made this project possible.

Wazzzzzzzuuuuuppppppp..... Great site guys.... I have to say I'm partial to K9-1, as it was Brian Amos who taught me what it was like to be a cop. I've been in law enforcement now for 2 yrs., currently with Lodi PD. Thanks Brian.

You have a wonderful site here, it was a long time coming. Stay safe guys.

Nick

The websight looks awsome! I want to thank all of you for all the hard work and dedication. Keep up the good work and stay safe. You all hold a special place in my heart, but K97 and Kaleo are my favorite!

Superb site! It is a real pleasure to view and portrays the professionalism your unit strives for. Hope all is well. Train hard and stay safe!!

Bob

Very good looking web site. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

LtGAB

Great Website, truley a credit to your unit and our agency. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for always being willing to assist.

Sgt. Scott Hufford
Citrus Heights Police Dept.

This website is outstanding...just like the guys on the detail. Sacramento Sheriff's Department should be proud of the hard work and dedication put into this unit. My favorite is
K-95 (Todd and Sammy). :D

Great website. Put together nice and easy to navigate around. Ian, thanks for sharing it with us, Nate

What a great website. Designed incredibly well, user friendly,a tribute to K-9s and their best friends. Are you marketing to youngsters? Maybe you could have like a "letter to Santa" but a letter to a featured K9 guestwriter (dog) that a child could write to and get a response? Or how about a guest column "written" by a K9 directed to kid and kid safety or even the care and feeding of dogs aimed at kids? Just an idea...keep up the great work all of you!
