Deployments (4th quarter): Assist Other Agency – 2300 block of Long Lake Road – Burglary/Domestic Assault Officer Aase assisted New Brighton PD with a K9 track at the 2300 block of Long Lake Road. The suspect had broken into a garage and assaulted his mother and fled on food. Officer Aase deployed K9 Brandi and attempted a track for multiple minutes. Two drones were also deployed. After multiple minutes, K9 Brandi was unable to pick up a track and neither drone located any heat sources. A Ramsey County K9 attempted a track after Officer Aase and did not locate the suspect. The suspect was later located at a gas station by Saint Anthony PD and taken into custody. Assist Other Agency – Narcotics Sniff – Silver Lake Road / 14th Street NW Officer Aase was requested by New Brighton Department of Public Safety for a narcotics sniff at the intersection of Silver Lake Road and 14th Street NW. Officer Aase responded with K9 Brandi. Upon arrival, Officer Aase was informed of possible narcotics related activity with the vehicle, including prescription medications on the floorboard and drug paraphernalia in plain view. Officer Aase deployed K9 Brandi on lead. K9 Brandi performed an exterior sniff of the vehicle and did not alert to the presence of narcotics. Sergeant Schultes and K9 Grizz In May of 2025, we celebrated the life and service of K9 Grizz after his unexpected loss following a medical emergency. K9 Grizz started his service with the Mounds View Police Department in January of 2018. He was assigned to Sergeant Schultes, and they attended the St. Paul K9 Academy together. As a team, they were certified in patrol operations and drug detection through the USPCA and later through TAC21. K9 Grizz came to the MVPD as a young dog full of drive. He immediately attached to Sgt. Schultes but was initially very reactive to any other adults and children. Through months of socialization and environmental training, K9 Grizz developed situational understanding and clarity. He became a friend to everyone who met him while simultaneously developing a reputation as a “no nonsense” K9 that always rose to the occasion. It was common for other agencies to be relieved when K9 Grizz responded to assist, because they knew he would get the job done and keep the officers safe. He had one of the most recognizable “barks” in the county, whether he was in the squad or effecting the arrest of a suspect he had just tracked down. K9 Grizz had a very active and eventful career serving the City of Mounds View. He located and apprehended numerous wanted suspects, safely cleared homes and buildings to keep officers out of harm’s way, de-escalated tense situations to prevent use of force, located evidence and illegal drugs, and became a friend to all at community outreach events. Sergeant Schultes will continue to assist the MVPD K9 Unit with training efforts, and as an evaluator for TAC21 K9 certification tests.
