K9 Interdiction

In 2021, Sheriff Eric Garza implemented K9 interdictions in schools across Cameron County, delivering numerous benefits to children, teachers, schools, and the wider community. The presence of K9 units serves as a strong deterrent against the presence of illicit substances, promoting a safer and drug-free environment for children. By conducting regular K9 interdictions, schools become proactive in addressing substance abuse issues, creating a positive and conducive atmosphere for learning. This initiative not only ensures the safety and well-being of students but also provides a sense of reassurance to teachers and staff, allowing them to focus on their educational responsibilities. Additionally, K9 interdictions foster partnerships between law enforcement and the community, building trust and collaboration in addressing drug-related concerns. Overall, Sheriff Garza's implementation of K9 interdictions in schools has a far-reaching impact, protecting children, supporting educators, and creating safer communities.
