Gamecock Guardians: An Inside Look at the USCPD K-9 Unit
Description
At Williams-Brice Stadium, there's a different kind of athlete on the field, one with four paws,
a wagging tail, and a nose for justice. In our first episode of "Off the Leash," we met with
Sgt. Mark Tevepaugh and his K9 partner, Poppy, from the University of South Carolina
Police Department (USC PD) to learn about their crucial role in keeping the community safe.
Sgt. Tevepaugh's journey to the K-9 unit started with a personal mission to give back to
the university that means so much to his family. After years as a patrol officer, he was drawn
to the unique bond he saw between K-9 handlers and their partners, and he decided he
wanted to be a part of it.
