May 12, 2025 By Richard C. Gilbert

After years of dedicated service, the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the retirement of K9 Otter.

Otter joined our office in 2022 after being donated by the York County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina. Over the course of his career, K9 Otter has been credited with over 100 finds, playing a crucial role in our community.

As he heads into retirement, we extend our deepest gratitude for his service! Enjoy the treats and the well-earned rest, Otter!
