Golden Gate K9 was blessed with the honor of working with the Wyoming Highway Patrol K9 Teams. The K9 Teams and Troopers we worked with were highly motivated, dedicated to duty and the communities they serve. God Bless them all and keep them safe. 🙏🏻

Golden Gate K9 was in Wyoming holding our Navigating Target Odor Seminar hosted by the Wyoming Highway Patrol. We had such a great time lecturing and setting up training scenarios. The K9 Teams we met did an excellent job. These Troopers are certainly dedicated to their K9 program, state, and communities they serve.

Team Kiki serving the community, saving lives.

The Marin County Specialized Investigative Unit’s newest addition is a canine named Kiki. Kiki is partnered with his K9 handler, Detective M. Schneider. Kiki is named after DEA special agent Kiki Camarena, who was killed in the line of duty. Kiki was born in Ireland on March 3rd 2023. Kiki was purchased by Golden Gate K9, located in Santa Rosa, where she was trained on the detection of several types of drugs. Kiki is trained to detect the odor of Fentanyl, He**in, Methamphetamine and Co***ne. Kiki and Detective Schneider successfully passed their certification test on 1/21/2025 and are now fully deployable.

While Kiki is off-duty, she enjoys various hobbies ranging from playing fetch to chasing squirrels. Kiki loves attention and can commonly be found laying on her back waiting to receive belly rubs. In return, Kiki loves to share all of her toys. Kiki is very social and would love to make new friends so please come pay her a visit and say hi!

Awesome work by Team Duke.

SCSO K9 Duke Assists SRPD Narcotics Detectives During a Search Warrant

In November 2024, detectives from the Santa Rosa Police Department Narcotics Unit began an investigation into a local Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO). Detectives identified 48-year-old Santa Rosa resident, Raymundo Flores-Navarro, as the person involved in distributing large amounts of methamphetamine in Santa Rosa and its surrounding areas.

On 1/8/25, at approximately 1100 hours, detectives executed the service of a search warrant in the 900 block of Ware Av, Santa Rosa. Detectives detained Flores-Navarro pursuant to the search warrant. Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office’s K9 Duke was deployed to assist SRPD detectives in searching Flores-Navarro’s residence for narcotics/controlled substance. K9 Duke alerted to the presence of narcotic/controlled substance odor in the kitchen. A search of that area revealed approximately four pounds of suspected methamphetamine, and a digital scale, concealed in the kitchen. Without the use of K9 Duke, detectives would most likely not have located the suspected methamphetamine.

Flores-Navarro has at least two prior convictions for sales of narcotics/controlled substances.

Flores-Navarro was booked into the Sonoma County Jail for the following violations:

11378 H&S – Possession of a Controlled Substance for Sale.
11395 H&S – Narcotic/Controlled Substance Sales with Two Prior Convictions.

Team Duke are incredible partners serving their community.

Meet Duke. Duke has been paired with Deputy Collier since May of 2020. Duke was the first one of our K9s to wear the ballistic vest. He liked it so much we buy them for all our dual purpose K9s now with the donations made to this association. Thank you
