It is with great sadness that the Jackson Police Department acknowledges the death of one of its Police Canines. Farro, a nine (9) year old German Shepherd and the partner of K9 Officer Jeremy Stines, served with the city for six (6) years.
Farro was the department's first dual purpose (drug detection/criminal apprehension) dog and was responsible for locating and apprehending at least 50 violent criminals, many of whom may not have been otherwise caught.
During his career, Farro located over 300lb of assorted illegal drugs and also was instrumental in monetary and property seizures totaling over half a million dollars.
Though he appeared very intimidating due to his large size, Farro was really a very friendly dog, unless you were a criminal and trying to avoid capture. This friendly easy going nature always made the pair a favorite when doing public demonstrations.
On Memorial Day weekend of 2014, Farro became ill and it was determined that he had cancer.
Farro was born on July 4th 2005.
End of Watch July 19th 2014.
Farro will be greatly missed by the City, the Police Department and the Stines Family.
