Deputy Andrew Mullen has resigned his position as Deputy K-9 handler at the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Deputy Mullen submitted his resignation and requested to take ownership of Frankie. The effectiveness of a Police K-9 is typically six to nine years.  We made the decision, pending the legislature\u2019s approval, to retire Frankie and honor Deputy Mullen\u2019s request. At this time, we will not be replacing Frankie with another K-9,” says Sheriff William Sheron Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
