K9 Echo was born on 03/08/2015 in the Czech Republic and went on to serve the Hanover Park Police Department beginning in April 2016 with Ofc. Wiebe. He trained at Tops Kennels in Grayslake, IL and was utilized for patrol functions, narcotics detection, cadaver and community events. He quickly became known for his size, deep bark and strong work ethic. He had a way of making his presence known and will be missed by many around town. He will enjoy retirement at home with his handler and family.
