Active-Duty California K9 Police Officer Zach Pfannenstiel Talks About Being a K9 Officer (Video)
The Mike Drop Podcast supports active-duty police officers in all capacities.
In this 19 August 2024 video, host Mike Ritland talks with Zach Pfannenstiel. The views and opinions expressed by Zach Pfannenstiel on this podcast are reflective of Echelon K9 and not of the San Diego Police Department. His job title history includes Patrol Officer. Gang Suppression Team Officer and Canine Handler Training Sergeant.
Zach has served as a faithful executor of the San Diego Police Department – a department he still serves under today. He’s also dedicated a notable amount of time in his career to the canine unit; over a decade in fact, where he continues to serve as the Training Sergeant responsible for overseeing a team of over 40 working dogs.
But law enforcement is about more than simply catching criminals, – just last April, Zach testified in Sacramento to combat the elimination of Police Canines with Assembly Bill 3241, representing all Canine Handlers in the State of California. It’s a thankless job, but somebody’s got to do it – fortunately for us, Officer Pfannenstiel is still on duty.
