APD K-9 Beny - RETIRED

One the APD’s two original K9 officers passed away in 2011.

Beny, a black German shepherd, proudly served the Auburn Police Department alongside his handler, Corporal Kris Bouchard, from 2007 to 2009. He was a trailblazer, serving as one of the department’s very first K9 officers. Originally from Slovakia, Beny was trained for patrol/tracking and for drug seizure. He was happily living out his well-earned retirement in Norway, Maine chasing squirrels and romping with his dog and kid friends. Rest well, Beny. We will miss you. Thank you for your service.
