[ARCHIVED] Meet the newest K-9 to join the Watsonville Police Department

K-9 Cruze 1a

The Watsonville Police Department has welcomed a new police dog to its force. 

His name is Cruze and he’s a two-year-old Belgian Malinois with a lot of energy and love for his handler, Officer Jay Garcia. 

“We just recently completed a six-week patrol school,” explained Officer Garcia. “We worked on area searches, building searches, handler protection, and apprehension.”

Officer Garcia has no doubt K-9 Cruze will be of great assistance to the patrol division. “He’s a great resource for us. He helps us look for missing people all the way up to wanted felons,” said Garcia. 

K-9 Cruze is the only working police dog assigned to the department after the recent retirement of his fellow “pawlleagues,” K-9 Ranger and K-9 Axel.
