RIP Portland Police K9 Unit K9 Kylo.

Today was meant to be Kylo's last shift before he retired. Instead in his last call as an officer he was gunned down and killed later passing away at a local veterinary hospital.

PPB was assisting the US Marshalls violent offender task force in taking a wanted suspect into custody when gunfire broke out. The suspect was also killed.

K9 Kylo was an amazing dog spending over 6 years working at the Portland Police Bureau. I had met him several times and he was a great boy.

Our hearts go out to his handler, his fellow officers, his family and all who knew him as a friend. He is the third Portland Police K9 to be killed in the line of duty joining K9 Mick (2014) and Argos (1987) in this unfortunate list. All three killed by gunfire.

Please keep the men and women of the Portland Police Bureau in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of K9 Kylo.

Today is National Police K9 Day. This is a day to recognize the important work law enforcement dogs do for communities all around the country. Their courage and steadfast dedication to their job is unwavering and I am thankful to know so many of these fine beasts.

Unfortunately today also marks the end of a journey for one of Oregon's best, K9 Telly of the Morrow County Sheriff's Office! Two weeks ago Telly was diagnosed with rapidly spreading cancer in her lungs. I visited her yesterday and even though she was willing to entertain me I could tell that she was suffering. Today the Sheriff's office has a procession planned to honor Telly for her trip to Valhalla, a destination fit for a warrior.

K9 Telly along with her handler Cpl Colleen Neubert have 76 live find apprehensions over her career. She was an important ambassador representing the Sheriff's Office at events, school visits and community functions and last week her retirement was announced at the Rodeo.

I love Telly very much. I was lucky enough to be decoy for her many times over the years. RIP K9 Telly, my lil four paw'd girlfriend and worst nightmare to the criminals of Eastern Oregon!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Colleen your fellow deputies and all who know you as friend as you take these final steps today!
