Jackson County Sheriff’s Office announces passing of K9 Chance

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office announced the passing of K9 Chance Monday. According to a press release from Sergeant Stan Edington, Chance passed away after a brief but aggressive battle with prostate cancer. Chance started his law enforcement career in November 2017, working until his diagnosis in November 2021. In his time with the department, Chance was used in more than 450 incidents, resulting in numerous narcotics finds, and multiple apprehensions of dangerous suspects. “Chance made countless contributions to our mission to protect the public, and he made our county a better place for its citizens,” Edington said. “He will be incredibly missed as an asset to the department, to myself as my partner, and to his family at home.” Edington also wished to personally thank the staff of the Osseo Veterinary Clinic who cared for Chance.
