Latest addition comes as K9 Max retires after 7 years of service to local communities
CARY, NC – The Town of Cary Police Department is proud to introduce its newest K9 Team -- K-9 Robby and his partner Cary Police Officer Phil Humphries. Three-year-old Robby is a long hair, black and tan German shepherd from the Czech Republic. Humphries was a K9 handler in the United States Air Force before coming to Cary. He also has experience as a K9 trainer and Kennel Master. K-9 Robby replaces K-9 Max, a German Shepherd that retired after serving the community for seven years.
“Robby is very social and enjoys working. He’ll make a fine addition to our K9 complement,” said Major Scott Davis, Operations Bureau Commander of the Cary Police Department. “At the same time, it’s a little bittersweet to retire another K9. But Max has served this community well to make Cary a safe place to live, work, and raise our families.”
In his seven years of service, Max helped locate missing persons, tracked suspects that tried to elude officers and found concealed drugs and money. During his career, Max met over 3,000 children and their parents during special community events. Max is enjoying his retirement with his former handler Master Officer Jeremy Burgin, who continues to serve the citizens of Cary.
In addition to Robby and Officer Humphries, the Town of Cary has two other K9 teams: Officer Seth Everett and K9 Enzo; and Officer Scott McInerny and K9 Taber. In the last three years, the Town of Cary K9 Program has been involved in more than 950 incidents.
Created in 2005, Cary’s K9 program is designed to enhance the high level of service provided by the Town’s nationally accredited police department. Cary is consistently ranked as the safest large community in North Carolina and the Southeast, and the third safest of its size in America.
