Deputy Staat and K-9 Partner Casper

I started my career with the Sheriff's department in June of 2002. I have worked court services, Lake Elsinore Station and currently assigned to the SouthWest Station. During my time in Lake Elsinore I was assigned to lake patrol and also the traffic division as a motor officer. I am currently the K9 handler for the City of Temecula and hope to serve in this capacity for many years to come. My partner's name is Casper. He is a 6 year old Belgium Malinois and is trained in patrol, narcotics and tracking.
