The Whitewater Police Department will officially swear in their newest canine officer, Tilla, who will be accompanied by his handler, Officer Justin Stuppy, at the December 4th Common Council meeting.
The City of Whitewater Police Department’s K-9 program focuses on drug detection and tracking and will now add the component of apprehension. With the retirement of canine officer Boomer in January 2017 and the passing of canine officer Ruso in July 2018, the addition of Tilla allows for the police department to train in all three techniques.
The department worked with Little Rock K-9 Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas, the same academy who worked with K-9 officer Ruso. This well-respected kennel has received high recognition for their K-9 dogs and training program.
Tilla, a high energy, 2-year-old male, black German Shepard from the Netherlands was chosen as the new K-9 officer. Tilla graduated from Little Rock K9 Academy after months of training. Tilla is certified in narcotics detection, tracking lost persons or suspects and apprehension.
“Tilla is expected to be a great addition to our agency,” said Police Chief Aaron M. Raap. “It has been said that ‘dogs don’t rationalize.’ They don’t hold anything against a person. They don’t see the outside of a human but the inside of a human,” Chief Raap shared. “K-9 Officer Tilla and Officer Stuppy have been properly trained and they will undoubtedly prove to be a force multiplier within our community.”

Dick was born June 13th, 1932, in Belvidere, IL, to Frederick W. and Mildred (Stecher) Triebold. He graduated from Whitewater High School in 1950, after which he served in the United States Army as a Military Policeman in Germany. Upon returning to the States, Dick married his High School Sweetheart, Judith Roe, on July 2, 1955. They lived in Janesville, Wisconsin, and Rockford, Illinois, before moving back to Whitewater, where he and his brothers established Triebold Implement, Inc., a J.I. Case Farm Equipment dealership, in 1966.
Richard had the natural ability to repair anything mechanical and had a common sense solution for just about any problem. He easily established deep and lasting friendships with the people he met and had a strong and compassionate heart for others. His benevolent spirit led him to become one of the founding members of Bethel House, a Whitewater non-profit offering shelter to families in crisis.
Dick was a loving and caring father, and he and Judy raised 4 children: Ray (Mindy), of Whitewater; Joanne (Gary) Himebauch of Mukwonago; Jeannine (Jerry) Kincade, of Goodyear, AZ; and Robert (Ellen), of South Bend, IN. Grandchildren are Jason (Jenelle) Himebauch, Amy (Nicholas) Jordan, Claire (Scott) Albrecht, Adam (Emily) Triebold, Janie Triebold, Kyra Triebold, Kelsey Triebold, Jacob (Carly) Kincade, Kaitlyn Kincade, and Stacey Kincade; great-grandchildren, Margaret, Andrew and Bridget Jordan, Jude and Jonah Himebauch.
