On June 1st, K9 Eko officially retired from the City of Wilson after a decorated career serving our community with unwavering loyalty and strength.

It has been an absolute privilege to care for Ekoโ€”heroes like him remind us why we do what we do. ๐Ÿ’™

Eko will now enjoy his well-earned retirement alongside his trusted K9 handler, Officer Fulghum. Thank you, Eko, for your service and dedication. Youโ€™ve earned all the belly rubs and naps ahead. ๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿถ
