Grove City Division of Police: Officer Brian Kitko reflects on loss of K-9 partner Max
There are some numbers, Kitko said.
During his nearly six years of service, Max was deployed 1,357 times, out of which 656 arrests were made, he said. But I don t know how you can measure the lives that were impacted because suspects were unable to use or sell the drugs Max detected or the financial savings that resulted from police officers not being injured after suspects decided not to try to run from or fight them because they knew we had a K-9 unit, Kitko said. The criminals told us so many times, either verbally or in their written statements, that the reason they didn t fight us was because they saw the K-9 had arrived. They knew a K-9 could outrun and outjump them and that he wouldn t stop until he caught them.
