The Winnipeg Police Service is mourning the passing of one of its most popular members.

Judge, the longtime police service dog, was laid to rest on Wednesday, the WPS announced today. The Belgian Malinois, who retired from the service last April, was born on June 18, 2003 in the WPS breeding program and was raised by his handler, Patrol Sgt. Scott Taylor.

The duo worked the Winnipeg streets for over a decade, registering over 500 arrests and making them the most successful K-9 team in Winnipeg, if not all of Canada.

The crime-fighting legacy of Judge will carry on, as he sired 23 offspring that are currently working in Canada and the United States.

Judge was also a grand-dog to nine more pups currently working in police service agencies around North America.
