BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—It is with heavy hearts that the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office announces the passing of retired K-9 Rosco, who passed away on November 11, 2026.
Rosco began his law enforcement career with the Bucyrus Police Department in 2015, serving the city of Bucyrus until 2018. Rosco then transferred to the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office. During his time in law enforcement, Rosco served alongside his handlers and played an important role in protecting and serving the citizens of Crawford County.
In 2020, an injury forced Rosco into retirement. Although his days of active duty had come to an end, his story was far from over. Rosco transitioned from a working K-9 to a family pet, where he enjoyed the retirement and companionship he had earned through years of dedicated service.
Rosco was more than a K-9. He was a partner, a protector, and a loyal companion. His years of service will not be forgotten by the members of both the Bucyrus Police Department and the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office.
