Cleveland Heights Police Department mourns loss of retired K9
It is with great sadness that the CHPD must announce the passing of retired K9 Argos. Argos was born in Germany and joined the Police Department in 2012 as a dual purpose patrol K9. He was a dedicated member of the department who never missed a day of work and loved patrolling the streets with his partner. Argos served and protected the community with his keen ability of finding drugs, evidence and suspects. Argos certainly had a nose for the job and was an excellent tracker who was able to solve crimes by locating suspects wanted in connection with such crimes as burglary and robbery.Over the years Argos made quite an impression on the many people he met. He was often seen walking his partner through the business districts and he would always take the time to stop and let people pet him. He attended countless block parties and community events and he loved kids. While our K9 Officers never get the credit they deserve for all their hard work and endless dedication to protecting their communities, Argos never complained. He was always willing to come out on a moment’s notice to do the job he loved so much. Our deepest condolences to his partner Jeff on his loss. Thank you Argos for your service to the community. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.
