Former Kinston Police service canine, Jessi, dies

Kinston Police Department:

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of one of our former police service canines, Jessi. Jessi served alongside with handler, Sgt. Brandon Wells, from 2010 until her retirement in 2017. Jessi was a Belgium Malinois and was certified through the North Carolina Police Dog Association.

Since her retirement, she resided full-time with Sgt. Wells. Jessi will be missed by her family, as well as past and present members of the KPD. We are extremely thankful for the service to our community.
