Reno Police Mourn Death Of Retired K9 Remi

 

The Reno Police Department is mourning the loss of retired K9 Remi that passed away at his home on Tuesday. Remi was paired with Ret. Officer Jayson Hill from 2008 until Remi’s retirement in June 2017. Officer Hill retired from the department in June 2020. Remi was born on June 7th, 2007 in the Slovak Republic. During his service career at the Reno Police Department, Remi’s efforts were largely focused on stopping illegal drugs through the Reno area via rail, bus, and commercial shipping in addition to his normal patrol duties. Remi would spend his final working years assigned to the Drug Interdiction Unit in a full-time capacity. Remi also enjoyed showing off his skills on an annual basis at the Western States Police Canine Trials. Most of all, Remi loved the attention and affection he received when doing demonstrations at area schools.
