Churchill County Sheriff’s Office Announces New K9 Handler

Churchill County Sheriff’s Office Announces New K9 Handler

The Churchill County Sheriff’s Office is beginning a new chapter in its K9 program as Deputy Kyndra Leary has been selected to serve as the department’s newest K9 handler.

This week, Leary and members of the K9 Unit plan to travel to Banning, California, to evaluate several dogs before choosing the department’s next K9 partner. The trip marks a significant milestone for the sheriff’s office, which has worked hard to strengthen and expand its K9 capabilities over the past few years.

Sheriff’s Office officials say the progress would not be possible without the support of local residents. Community donations have played a key role in funding training, equipment, and the acquisition of a new service dog.

Leary’s selection is being celebrated throughout the department as a well-earned opportunity. Members of the community have shared many congratulations. Once the new K9 is chosen and training is underway, the Sheriff’s Office plans to introduce the dog to the community.

The Churchill County Sheriff’s Office is applauding Leary’s achievement and looking ahead to the arrival of its newest four-legged team member.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
