PHOENIX — After six years with the Phoenix Police Department, K-9 unit Kevin is ready to retire, Phoenix police announced on Facebook.
Kevin is a German Short-haired Pointer who was born in Germany back in 2013.
Trained to sniff out explosives, Kevin was responsible for keeping dangerous devices off of our transit system.
Kevin was a staple in downtown Phoenix, and he'll be missed.
So everyone give a big congratulations to one of our fuzziest officers!
