Running for sheriff of Somerset County, retired K-9 Officer Tim Pino reacted to Sheriff Frank Provenzano’s Facebook post with proof of past support from his fellow law enforcer turned political foe.

“I can’t thank Sheriff Provenzano enough for the support he gave me throughout my career,” Pino told InsiderNJ. “He promoted me ‘4’ times and it was an honor he used me and my police K9 on his campaign mailer (attached) to get himself re-elected.  I loved being the A/Chief of the Sheriff’s Office when I retired as noted in my recent endorsement by the Sheriff’s Office Police Officers Union.”
