To the Handlers, Officers, and Command Staff of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office,
Please accept our deepest condolences regarding the passing of retired K9 Deuce on May 28, 2026.
Standing with the department this past January to celebrate his retirement was a distinct honor, making the brevity of his well-earned rest especially heavy. K9 Deuce operated with unwavering dedication, bravery, and loyalty throughout his deployments, serving as an exceptional asset to the McHenry County community and a steadfast partner to his handler.
His legacy will be remembered and honored among our local law enforcement and K9 training community. Our thoughts are with his handler and the entire department during this difficult time.
Rest easy, K9 Deuce. Your shift is complete.
