Another successful track!

This morning you may have received a notice of a missing person in the area of Scenic Circle in Pickens. A 74 year old male subject with medical concerns walked away from his home sometime during the very early morning hours. After a brief unassisted search, his wife called PCSO for help locating him. Deputy Caleb Cassell and K9 Boss responded and located the missing subject within 7 minutes of deployment. The subject was unharmed and is safely back at his residence. We would like to recognize K9 Boss and Deputy Cassell for their outstanding work!

K9 Bronco!

On April 25th the SC Highway Patrol requested assistance from PCSO in reference to a male subject fleeing on foot from a traffic stop. The male subject had been identified, was known by law enforcement to carry weapons, and had active warrants with PCSO. Cpl. Michael Skinner and his K9 partner, Bronco, responded to the scene and began a track. K9 Bronco alerted on a culvert pipe and deputies located the subject hiding in the pipe. Thanks to the outstanding work of K9 Bronco and Cpl. Skinner, this subject was taken into custody without incident and the community was kept safe.🫡🫡
