Officer John Forlenza and the sheriff K9 Dax join ‘Fox and Friends.’
A police officer in Maricopa, Ariz., was given a 20-hour suspension after the death of his K9 partner Ike.
The 9-year-old Dutch Shepherd was left inside Officer Craig Curry s patrol vehicle last summer for an hour and 40 minutes during a meeting at the Maricopa Police headquarters.
Maricopa Police policy advises officers to check on their K9 partners at least once every 30 minutes, according to KNXV-TV in Phoenix.
In an internal investigation of the June 26, 2020 incident, Curry said he had left the car with the engine running, the air conditioning on the third fan speed and the coldest temperature setting, and the windows rolled up and doors locked.
