Jax

Canine Jax came to the Winchester Police Department in 2016 from Holland by way of Shallow Creek canine in PA. Canine Jax was green when purchased and was subsequently dual certified in narcotics and patrol. Jax worked the streets of Winchester along side his partner on midnight and second shift until he was retired in 2020. Jax was lovingly called “Ninja” by officers within the department because he was unusually quiet and tended to “stalk” potential apprehensions until they made the decision to run. Jax made countless drug busts in his career and was successful on a number of tracks and deployments for peaceful surrender.
