On Friday, The TBI’s first ever Electronic Storage Detection K9, Zeus, has his retirement ceremony, after five years of service.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Zeus was put on the career path as an ESD K-9. He made his debut at the TBI at 2 years old.
Often those held vital evidence, especially in child exploitation cases. When he wasn’t doing that, Zeus provided comfort for his coworkers during high-stress situations, and he reduced trauma for victims and witnesses.
One of four K9 agents that work with Special Agent partners, Zeus dedicated the last five years to combating child exploitation, violent crime, complex financial crime, and human trafficking through his detection efforts.
He will reside, full time, with his Special Agent partner Derek, Derek’s wife, and their two kids in West Tennessee where he will live out his life as a beloved pet.
