It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved K-9 Hoss.
After a courageous battle with cancer, Hoss passed away on June 8, 2026, surrounded by those who loved him most.
Hoss joined the Round Rock Police Department in October 2017 and spent more than eight years serving our community. Throughout his career, Hoss completed more than 730 deployments and assisted in over 260 arrests. He helped remove illegal narcotics from our streets, recovered firearms, located critical evidence, and assisted in countless investigations. In 2024, Hoss was named the Dogs for Law Enforcement Texas Seminar Narcotics Detection Champion.
But those who knew Hoss know that his legacy is much more than the work he accomplished.
Beyond his official duties, Hoss was known for his charismatic personality, boundless energy, and love of people. Whether he was working alongside officers, visiting department personnel, or interacting with members of our community, Hoss left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Since becoming partners in 2021, Officer Don Garmong and Hoss shared a bond that extended far beyond the job.
“He was loyal, loving, and unforgettable. More than my partner, Hoss was my best friend in every meaning of the word.”
— Officer Don Garmong
Today, we mourn not only the loss of an exceptional K-9, but the loss of a friend. Though his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, we take comfort in the memories he leaves behind and the lasting impact he made on this department, our community, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Thank you for everything, Hoss.
You will be deeply missed, and you will never be forgotten.
End of Watch: June 8, 2026

Pretty sure this wasn’t what y’all told your parents you were doing…
During the early morning hours of Saturday, May 30, a group of suspected teens broke into Rock’N River Water Park and caused more than $11,000 in theft and property damage along the way.
Unfortunately for them, the park has cameras. Lots of ‘em.
Now we’re hoping our community can help us put some names to faces.
If you recognize anyone shown in these images, please contact our detectives at 512-671-2720.

The Round Rock Police Department has arrested two suspects in connection with the April 21, 2026, robbery at Marc Robinson Jewelers located in the Round Rock Premium Outlets.
Detectives arrested Jalen Javon Davis, 24, and Leslie La Vun Jones II, 25, both of Houston, Texas, for their alleged roles in the robbery.
On April 21, multiple masked suspects entered the store, smashed display cases, and stole multiple high-value pieces of jewelry before fleeing. Using surveillance footage, witness statements, interviews, and license plate reader technology, detectives identified suspect vehicles, developed investigative leads, and located individuals involved in the offense.
The investigation remains active, and additional arrests are expected.
The Round Rock Police Department thanks the Houston Police Department, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, and the community members whose information and assistance helped advance this investigation.
Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact Detective Natalie Nimmo at 512-671-2814 or nnimmo@roundrocktexas.gov.
