Deeply saddened by the loss of our partner.
Maplewood Public Safety is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of K9 Kyro.
He's been a steadfast partner, a trusted guardian, and a symbol of the very best in public service.
Since 2022, he and his handler have answered hundreds of calls and built meaningful connections with countless children and community members. Through every challenge, they represented the courage, commitment, and professionalism that define this department.
Just this Sunday, Kyro’s vigilance and training led to us recovering a gun, which assist investagators in solving a shooting.
Call volume alone is not enough to measure his service. We count it in lives protected, fears calmed, and the peace of mind he brought to our officers and the residents we serve.
He will be missed. We extend our condolences to Kyro's handler and his family.
