A memorial service for Frisco Police Department K-9 Boris was held this morning at the Ruff Range Dog Park in Frisco.
The 4 1⁄2 year old Belgian Malinois, who was a two-year veteran of the FPD, died earlier this month from medical-related issues said the department.
During his watch, K-9 Boris assisted in making 79 drug-related arrests, was used in over 100 narcotics sniffs per year, was deployed seven times for tracking suspects, and was successful in six no-bite suspect apprehensions.
Representatives from across Texas attended the memorial to honor K-9 Boris, including Paris Police Canine Team Officer Padier and K-9 Cupa.
“The bond between a police canine and it’s officer is very real and deep,” said Paris PD, “They are usually together 24/7 and have a trust in one another that is amazing.”
At the time of his death, K-9 Boris was at a specialized police-dog training facility where he continued training and remained active while awaiting a new handler.
