Charlie the Police Dog’s Retirement
In 2008, the Cheviot Police Dept. started its first K9 Unit. At that time, Sgt. Jeff
Patton met his new partner, Charlie, a 1-year old German Shepherd from
Slovakia. Charlie is now 9 years old and is retiring. Recovering from back
surgery in April 2016, Charlie recovered well, but arthritis is now taking its toll.
As a team, Charlie and Sgt. Patton have been deployed approximately 700 times
as of Dec. 2016. They’ve had numerous narcotic finds with the largest being 6
pounds of marijuana. Charlie has also made more than 30 suspect apprehensions.
Here are a couple of Charlie’s memorable deployments: In May 2009, Charlie
and Sgt. Patton were called in to work a vehicle pursuit with 4 robbery suspects.
The suspects crashed their vehicle and fled the scene. Three were located and
arrested by pursuing units. Ninety minutes after the pursuit of the first 3 suspects,
Charlie tracked down the fourth suspect, who was hiding behind a garage. In June
2009, following a business robbery on Glenway Ave., Charlie tracked in the
parking lot, through woods, and into a yard. There he found all the money from
the business as well as clothing the suspect was wearing. Investigators were able
to get DNA from the clothing and a suspect was arrested 1 year later, eventually
pleading guilty to robbery.
.
According to Sgt. Patton, “Charlie has been a huge asset to the City of Cheviot
Police Dept. Thanks to Charlie, the public relations between the community and
the police department have been very positive.” The City is working on a
replacement K9 and Charlie will retire and live with Sgt. Patton and his family.
