The oldest active K9 in Houston, Sita, touched hearts with her sweet personality and puppy like energy. She was the Narcotics Officer Association Canine of the Year in 2014, in addition to being awarded the 100 Club Service Animal of the Year for 2020. Sita spent most of her 13+ year career with Senior Officer Kristin Uhlin. During that time, they were responsible for seizing more than $50 million in currency and narcotics. Officer Uhlin and Sita were also working on a project with K9 Tactical Emergency Casualty Care, in relation with Memorial Hermann Hospital Life Flight, to help provide emergency care to working, tactical dogs injured in the line of duty. She was just shy of her 15th birthday and her passing has truly saddened the department. In honor of Sita’s memory, donations can be made to Assist the Officer.
