The Berwyn Police Department is proud to introduce K-9 Butch, who was officially sworn in on July 15, 2026. Butch is a four-year-old Jagdterrier assigned to the Tactical Unit alongside his handler, Detective Nicholas Piraino. Believed to be the smallest police K-9 in Illinois and one of only a few of his size nationwide, Butch is strong, highly energetic, agile, and driven to work.
Trained through Excel K9 in Hiram, Ohio, Butch is certified in narcotics detection and article searches. Butch is currently training in tracking and will soon be able to assist in locating fleeing suspects and missing individuals, including juveniles and elderly residents. Despite his small size, Butch has impressive athletic ability and can jump onto a countertop from a standing position, allowing him to search areas that may otherwise appear difficult for a dog of his size to reach.
