After five years of sniffing out critical digital evidence, the TBIƵs first-ever electronic storage detection K-9, Zeus, is retiring.
Trained to detect even the tiniest devices, Zeus played a key role in child exploitation and human trafficking investigations.
ƵHaving the opportunity to work with Electronic Storage Detection Canine Zeus has been such a rewarding part of my career. Not only has Zeus dedicated the last five years to combatting child exploitation, violent crime, complex financial crime, and human trafficking through his detection efforts, Zeus is so often a bright light in otherwise dark surroundings for many victims and witnesses to those crimes,Ƶ said his partner Special Agent Derek Miller. ƵThanks to his abilities, Zeus and I have had the fortune of assisting on searches all over the United States, and I am proud of his efforts to ensure that we devote our best resources to the safety of others. Joining him in his unending desire to locate electronic devices and bring joy to others has been an honor, and IƵm proud of the time that I spent with Zeus as the partner by my side,Ƶ TBI Special Agent Derek Miller said.
He will spend retirement with Miller and his family in West Tennessee, finally enjoying meals from a regular dog bowl.
