Portland Police K-9 Unit

ONE NIGHT = FIVE FELONY CAPTURES for K9’s Murphy, Harcos, and Kylo. It was a busy night… Murphy started off the evening by searching for a suspect who had stolen a vehicle and eluded north precinct officers in the vehicle before bailing on foot. Murphy tracked the suspect and located him hiding completely concealed in thick brush… Murphy and Kylo then responded to assist members of the Focused Intervention Team who’d had armed robbery suspects, driving a stolen vehicle, run from them. Murphy and Kylo split up and went to work. After a lengthy block search, Murphy alerted on two garbage cans in a residential back yard. The suspects surrendered and were safely taken into custody. A gun was also located… Kylo then responded to east precinct to help track down another stolen vehicle/elude suspect. He searched the block and outstandingly alerted to the suspect hiding on a roof!… Harcos ended the night by searching for yet another stolen vehicle/elude suspect in East precinct… After a lengthy search, Harcos closed in on the suspect, who again ran and attempted to forcibly enter another occupied vehicle. With Harcos and patrol officers hot on his heels, the suspect surrendered… Great work everyone! Thank you to the patrol officers, FIT officers, Air Support and all others who worked so hard and teamed up to capture these motivated suspects. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Yesterday, Seattle Police K9 Jedi made the ultimate sacrifice. Our hearts are with the Seattle Police Department, his handler, and greater Seattle community as we mourn the loss of such a valued member of the law enforcement family. K9 Jedi, you will not be forgotten. Rest easy Jedi.
