Toulon Jr., along with Undersheriff Steven Kuehhas, Undersheriff Kevin Catalina, Deputy Sheriff PBA President John Becker, and Suffolk County Correction Officer Association President Lou Viscusi hosted two consecutive ceremonies recently to pay tribute to several fallen law enforcement officers in the most unique way. At the center of attention was K9 Reis, a two-year-old dark brindle colored Dutch Shepherd from the Netherlands. He is a high-drive, strong-willed dog who exhibits a uniquely high level of courage. It’s not surprising that his handler named him Reis, a tribute to a beloved Sheriff’s Correction Officer, Andrew Reister, who was killed in 2008 while working an off-duty job. This morning, the family of Andrew Reister gathered at the Sheriff’s Office to participate in a formal naming ceremony and watch Reis demonstrate some of his talents.
