New K-9 Unit Sergeant Selected At Livermore Police Department

LIVERMORE, CA — The Livermore Police Department’s K-9 Unit has a new supervisor.

Sergeant Marcy Matos was selected to be the sergeant of the unit. Matos joined the department in 2016 and was previously a K-9 handler with the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department.

Matos believes being a K-9 handler is challenging but one of the “best and most fulfilling assignments” she's had in more than 16 years working in law enforcement, the department said.

LPD shared a fun fact about Matos saying that she grew up on a farm and has loved animals her whole life.

The department currently has three K-9 officers.
