The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) Youth Services Division has unveiled its newest K-9, named Jedi, on Star Wars Day 2024.

Jedi will be working alongside School Resource Officer (SRO) K-9 Deputy Ed Haun.

The name for the new K-9 was chosen by students at Plew Elementary in Niceville, where Deputy Haun is currently assigned. The OCSO, along with faculty, staff, and administration of Plew, selected two final options for the name: Jedi and Queso.

The students of Plew then made the final decision while attending their Physical Education class, ultimately choosing the name Jedi.

“The student’s voices were heard and the K-9 is now named Jedi,” the OCSO stated in their announcement.

Both Plew Elementary and the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office have expressed their best wishes to Deputy Haun as he embarks on this new endeavor with K-9 Jedi.
