Rozco's Story

What's in a name?
Rozco is a beloved horse in our Mounted Unit and had a different name when he arrived.
After the death of Detective Kerrie Orozco of the Omaha Police Department, our department wanted to honor her name, our horse was then renamed Rozco.
Kerrie Orozco had put off starting maternity leave until her premature baby girl could come home from the hospital. Just hours before bringing her daughter home and taking the long-awaited leave, Orozco was gunned down on the job by a suspect. Kerrie Orozco was shot and killed on May 20th, 2015, while assigned to the Metro Area Fugitive Task Force, Detective Orozco was part of a team conducting surveillance attempting to locate and arrest a 26-year-old fugitive Marcus Wheeler.
Officer Mike Murphy is assigned to Rozco and spends a lot of time with him. Officer Murphy wants to do something nice for the Orozco family, so he has compiled photos that have been taken over the years of the horse and plans to send them to the Orozco family.
