In memory of our fallen partners

Region 18 K-9 Memorial

________________________________________________ 

GRIEVE NOT FOR ME FOR IT HAS BEEN ORDAINED,
THAT MY JOURNEY HERE BE SHORT.
GRIEVE NOT FOR ME FOR MY LOYAL PRESENCE
WILL EVER REMAIN IN HEART.
I WAS SENT TO BE A GUARDIAN
FOR GUARDIANS OF LAW IN BLUE
A FEARLESS, NOBLE PROTECTOR
WITH A BOND THAT FEW WILL CONSTRUE.
WITH CHARACTER UNSHAKABLE,
AND SENSES THAT ARE HEIGHTENED,
I WAS SENT TO BE A DEFENDER,
SO YOUR BURDEN HERE WOULD BE LIGHTENED,
GRIEVE NOT FOR ME FOR IN HEAVENLY BLUE
OUR REUNION DAY WILL COME.
GRIEVE NOT FOR ME FOR AS PARTNERS AGAIN,
WE WILL DEFEND THE GREATEST KINGDOM.

K9 Maverick

2005 to 2011

Handler Officer Andy Helgerson

K9 Maverick passed away late fall, 2011 from complications from cancer.  In Spring of 2005, Maverick was paired with Officer Andy Helgerson from the Eagan Police Department and graduated from the St. Paul Police Basic Canine Course.  Since 2005, Maverick has been used hundreds of times in Eagan for such things as: apprehensions, tracks, building searches, narcotic sniffs, and public demonstrations. Region 18 would like to thank Officer Helgerson and the Eagan Police Department for their dedication to protecting the citizens of the City of Eagan and the State of Minnesota.  Rest in Peace, Maverick.
