Pomona – One of the Pomona Police Department’s K9 Officers, Robbie, retired this past week after a very remarkable eight year career in service at the City of Pomona.

Robbie is a Belgian Malinois, who was born and trained in Holland before coming to Southern California to work in law enforcement.

Robbie worked with his partner, Corporal Rick Aguiar, and together the team holds some very impressive statistics:

• 50 criminals apprehended
• 15 guns recovered during article searches
• $1.5 million in cash seized
• 160 kilos of cocaine seized, valued at $3.2 million
• 3 kilos of heroin seized, valued at $75,000
• 81 pounds of methamphetamine seized, valued at over $1.2 million
• 385 pounds of marijuana seized, valued at over $1.5 million

The Pomona Police Department’s K9 Unit will be selecting a new K9 partner for their newest team – a team that has some pretty big shoes/paws to fill.

Corporal Aguiar will continue to care for Robbie while he enjoys his retirement years, as partners for life.
