(From the Joplin Police Department)Today marks the final day of service for one of the Joplin Police Departments K9’s. After today, K9 Ax will retire from the Joplin Police Department after serving for just over 7 years with his handler, Officer Brad Rich.
While Ax had a successful career in locating a large quantity of drugs and other illegal items, one of his greatest accomplishments involved locating a missing woman after she had been missing for 48 hours, was extremely frail, and had wandered into an area of thick brush in a remote area of the county. Without Ax, there is no doubt this woman’s likely would not have survived.
Ax will continue to live the retirement life with Officer Rich and his family.
Congratulations Ax and thank you for your service to the Joplin Police Department and the citizens of Joplin. Job well done!
