It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of K-g Logan. Over the weekend, Logan became very unwell and was diagnosed with cancer. Earlier this week, surrounded by his handler Deputy Tony LoRusso, the entire PCSO K-9 Unit, and additional K-9 handlers from other agencies, he passed away. Named after Deputy LoRusso's favorite Marvel character, Wolverine, Logan lived up to his name through his dedication, determination, and unwavering work ethic. He was Deputy LoRusso's third and final K-9 partner. Selected for law entorcement work at just 10 months old, Logan began working with our K-9 Unit in 2018 and added Narcotics Detection to his abilities in 2019. Deputy LoRusso and K-9 Logan pioneered the use of laser-pointer directional cues and team-integrated building searches for the unit which was particularly useful in a 2022 case where suspects fled from a stolen vehicle and hid in a residence. Logan was not only a fierce member of the unit but also an accomplished competitor, earning 16th overall at the 2025 USPCA National Championships and helping his four-man team take second place at both Region 1 and Nationals. Even in his final week, Logan located a felony warrant suspect out of Georgia and helped uncover cocaine and methamphetamine in a separate felony drug investigation. Off duty, Logan was known for his social personality, his love of community demonstrations, and his habit of leaning against people for a good rub down his side. At home, he enjoyed endless games of fetch, pup cups, and time with his family. Our condolences go out to Deputy LoRusso, his family, and his K-9 family. 🐾🙏🏻
