OREGON CITY, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon City Police Department
is mourning the loss of its first narcotics detection dog, K9 Grendel,
who passed away after a sudden diagnosis of cancer.

K9 Grendel was taken to an emergency veterinarian, where it was determined he was suffering from internal bleeding due to cancer.

After consulting with the doctor and considering all options, the
difficult decision was made to put him down.

K9 Grendel joined the department nine years ago and was partnered
with Officer Pohl. He quickly became a beloved member of the department and was known for his dedication to the Oregon City community.

Over the years, K9 Grendel and Officer Pohl formed an exceptional
team, playing a crucial role in locating dangerous drugs, including significant amounts of fentanyl. Their efforts were instrumental in removing numerous drug dealers from the streets, contributing to
the safety of Oregon City and the surrounding metro area.
