K9 Unit
K9 Grizz (left) joined the department in 2018, graduating on March 24th, 2018 from the Saint Paul Police K9 School. He works and lives with Sgt.  Schultes. K9 Grizz is a two year old German Shepherd from Slovakia.  His is currently trained in area searches,  suspect tracking, criminal apprehension, building searches, evidence searches, and narcotics detection. The team participates annually in the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) Region 18 K-9 Trials. In 2022, K9 Grizz and Sgt. Schultes earned the TAC 21 patrol dog certification.

In order to maintain two working police K9 teams, we added K9 Ace (right) as the newest member of the K9 unit. K9 Ace is a German Shepherd and comes from Slovakia as well. We also implemented a new K9 training process through MN Canine Consulting and Red Team K9 with an emphasis on officer safety and cover officer tactics. Officer Aase was selected as the handler and they both started training in the spring of 2022. After successfully completion of the intensive training program, they earned the TAC 21 patrol dog certification and began working patrol shifts in June of 2022.

Both k9 teams are proud to serve the citizens of Mounds View and they are an integral part of the police department. The K9 teams conducts daily trainings including other Mounds View Officers so all are accustomed to working together. If you would like more information about the K9 teams or would like to make a donation to help cover the cost of training and care, please contact the police department or the Mounds View Police Foundation. To learn more about our retired K9 click here.

Investigations
Mounds View Police Department has two Investigators who work on all levels of crimes from misdemeanor to felony level. When a crime occurs, the responding officers complete their report which is reviewed by the Investigators. They determine whether the case will be active and investigated or inactive and closed. Anonymous tips can be taken via the Tip Line. Any information on current cases should be directed to the Investigators. Active cases are investigated until all leads are exhausted, charges are filed, or the case is exceptionally cleared.
