ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (Oro Valley Police Department) - OVPD is sad to announce the passing of retired K-9 Emerson. Emerson was known for his jumping ability and his outstanding obedience. He finished first place in agility in the Las Vegas Police K-9 trials. Like most high-drive police dogs, he would attempt to go through obstacles instead of around them. In training, he attempted to jump through a small bathroom window that was 8 feet above the ground. He was supposed to alert to the door next to the window but chose to try to go through the small window instead.
