Great news from Summerville Police Department
Members of the Summerville Police Department K9 Unit were honored to attend the ceremonial signing of Fargo's Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that strengthens protections for South Carolina's law enforcement K9s.
The law increases penalties for those who intentionally injure or kill a police K9, requires restitution to help cover the costs of replacing and training a K9, and provides financial support to agencies when a K9 is injured or killed in the line of duty.
While commonly known as Fargo's Bill, the legislation also honors the legacy of several fallen and injured law enforcement K9s, including Hyco, Rico, Coba, Wick, Mikka, and Bumi, whose service and sacrifice helped inspire this important change.
Our K9 partners serve courageously alongside their handlers every day, protecting our communities and often placing themselves in harm's way. We are grateful to everyone who worked to make this legislation a reality and for their continued support of law enforcement K9 teams across South Carolina.

Sad news from Montgomery Township Police Department
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Retired Canine Major.
Canine Major was the faithful partner of Sergeant Timothy Woch. Major entered service with the Montgomery Township Police Department as a dual-purpose canine specializing in patrol work and drug detection in 2015 and retired in 2022. Canine Major was well known in the community and received numerous commendations and certifications during his years of service. Canine Major responded to over 800 calls for service and participated in over 60 public appearances/demonstrations during his years of service.
The bond between a Canine and their handler is unlike any other. Canine Major was more than a police dog; he was a partner, protector, and cherished member of the Woch family and the Montgomery Township Police Department.
Rest easy, Major. You served with honor, heart, and courage, and you will always be remembered.
Please keep Sergeant Woch and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
