At the meeting Tuesday night the council recognized Brix, one of four K-9 with the Ontario Police Department. After 9 and half years with the department Brix, a German Shepard, is retiring.

He began his service with the department July 1999 at only 18 months. During his tenure he has been involved in more than 1400 K-9 searches which resulted in more than 1300 arrest and assists.

The following is a summary from the city's report of "Brix" acheivements while serving the city of Ontario.

  • Since being trained in the detection of narcotics in 2000, "Brix" is responsible for the seizure of 930 pounds of marijuana, 5 pounds of methamphetamine, 2 pounds of cocaine, and 48 pints of codeine.
  • In 2006, "Brix" located and caused a suspect to surrender after a lengthy pursuit and the suspect forcing his way into an innocent victim's home.
  • In 2006, "Brix" located a buried weapon used in a gang shooting outside the Hilton hotel.
  • In 2007, "Brix" located and apprehended an armed robbery suspect hiding in a shed, minutes after fleeing from officers who were chasing him.
  • In 2008, "Brix" was assisted in the location of a burglary suspect who was a parolee-at-large. "Brix" located the suspect hiding in a residence resulting in the suspect surrendering.
