In Memoriam: Passing of Retired Police Services Dog Qaybre
Region of Peel – Peel Regional Police is sad to announce the recent and unexpected passing of retired Police Services Dog (PSD) Qaybre, affectionately called “Q”.
PSD Qaybre, call-sign K9-3, served proudly with Peel Regional Police for almost nine years alongside his partner, canine handler Sgt. Jennifer Dagg. During his service, he assisted with thousands of calls, including break-and-enters, robberies, and missing-persons cases, and played a vital role in hundreds of arrests. He took handler protection to heart and always had his partners back.
PSD Qaybre has successfully located numerous pieces of evidence during article searches, which have aided in criminal convictions. Shortly before retirement, one of his last calls was a search for a missing elderly male. Following extensive tracking, the man’s life was spared when he was located by PSD Qaybre.
PSD Qaybre retired in July of 2021, enjoying his hobbies, which included swimming, playing ball, and the occasional steak dinner. He lived with his handler and family, enjoying retirement until his passing at age 13.
Although PSD Qaybre’s retirement was cut short, his exemplary service and the significant contributions he made to protecting the region leave behind a legacy that will be remembered with deep respect and heartfelt gratitude.
Rest easy, Q
