K-9 ZEUS JOINS LOCAL DEPUTY FORCE IN INTERMOUNTAIN AREA
(APRIL 5, 2006 • 2 Min 18 Sec) Shasta County Sheriff’s Deputy Ken Koenen and his new K-9 partner, Zeus, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois raised in Holland, are on duty together out of the Burney substation. The dog’s skills include locating, handler defense, and narcotics detection. Malinois are known for their agility and speed and Koenen said Zeus has been radar-clocked at 25 mph. Unlike the department’s retired K-9 Hekki, who is quite friendly and still makes school visits, Zeus is “handler specific,” Koenen said. “He likes me and a few others who work with us and that’s it.” Other Shasta County K-9’s are Jet, who works with deputy Jason Gassaway, Cain with deputy Pat Lanham, and Maximus with deputy Pat Kropholler.
