warrant. I went to the area the male was last seen (behind a strip mall) to look for him. K9 Grizz barked <br />from my squad car as a deterrent. The male called out to me and surrendered as I drove by him. I gave <br />him a K9 warning, and came out from hiding behind a dumpster. K9 Grizz continued to bark as a <br />deterrent and the male was taken into custody without incident. <br />On 8/29/2020, Officer Le Voir stopped to check on a "slumper" on the 2800 block of Mounds View <br />Boulevard. She made contact with the male and believed he was under the influence of a controlled <br />substance. He was subsequently taken into custody for controlled substance DWI. I checked the <br />arrestee's criminal history, which included arrests for controlled substance possession. Due to the <br />circumstances, I deployed K9 Grizz for a sniff of the vehicle for narcotics. K9 Grizz performed a detailed <br />sniff of the exterior, but did not alert to the presence of narcotic odor. <br />On 9/17/2020, Coon Rapids PD requested assistance apprehending a suspect on the 5200 block of <br />Jackson Drive, who was just involved in a vehicle pursuit with their officers. The male was originally <br />wanted for arson, for allegedly lighting his ex -girlfriend's house on fire in Coon Rapids. Officers arrived <br />at the suspect's location in Mounds View, and I deployed K9 Grizz on lead as part of the perimeter. <br />Officers attempted contact at the house, and the suspect was seen inside. He refused to surrender so <br />officers moved to a safer distance. After a significant time, the male surrendered and was taken into <br />custody. <br />During the third quarter, the Mounds View K9 Unit trained extensively for their narcotics and patrol dog <br />1 certifications. Both teams, including K9 Niko and K9 Grizz successfully earned their 2020 USPCA <br />certifications for narcotics and patrol dog 1. <br />The Mounds View K9 Unit also participated in numerous impromptu K9 meet and greets throughout the <br />community. K9 Niko and K9 Grizz socialized with adults and children to strengthen relationships with <br />the community. <br />
