Our department is mourning the loss of one of our K9s. Arko
passed away on Wednesday. He was the devoted partner of Sergeant Alix
Braunstein of our Special Operations Division.
Arko was a patrol and drug detection K9. He served the
community from 2007 until his retirement in January of this year. Sergeant
Braunstein called Arko a loyal and kindhearted dog, adding "Our first
night out together we found 76 grams of marijuana in a backpack in the trunk of
a car.
He was all about work and loved doing it." Arko was 10
years old. He will be greatly missed by the K9 Section and all who knew and
loved him.
