The Winnipeg Police Service is mourning the loss of a very good officer this week.
Police dog and community ambassador Griffin was a nine-year veteran of the force, serving from 2009 to 2018.
A German Shepherd born in Hlohovec, Slovakia, Griffin was the only German Shepherd dog in the K-9 unit when he joined the service.
He served as a general purpose dog who was also cross-trained in narcotics.
