Rizzo is named after retired Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. His friends affectionately refer to him as the “Tactical Tracking Raccoon.” Known for his quirky personality, Rizzo was born on March 15, 2016, in Slovakia and served from July 4, 2017, to January 5, 2025. He was dual-certified in narcotics detection and patrol, and he proudly became the first fentanyl-certified K9 in the county he served.
