Vintage Ranch Resident,
Fist off, I should probably introduce myself. I am Officer Jeff Matlock and I am the K-9 officer in American Canyon. I have been with the Napa County Sheriff's department since May 1996 and have spent the past 5 years here in American Canyon. In July of 2004, I received "Cvoki", a police K-9. Cvoki is a German Shepherd Dog from Czechoslovakia. He is 5 yrs. old and has been with our department for approx. 4 yrs. now. He was with another deputy prior to me.
I was most likely the patrol vehicle you saw with the police dog, as we currently have one K-9 here in the city. The incident I believe you are referring to was a resident in the area reporting a suspicious subject on Silver Oak Trail. The suspicious subject was reported as looking into parked vehicles, possibly trying to break into them.
A subject, matching the description given was contacted nearby and was found to be looking into his parent's vehicles, which were parked 2-3 houses away from their residence. The resident who called in did a great job of being observant and calling us to investigate. Although many times there may be an innocent explanation for some things, we do not know without the assistance of the community and investigating these types of incidents.
