The Edina Police Department invites the public to a retirement celebration for K-9 Gryf 4:30-5:30 p.m. Monday, July 1, at Hughes Pavilion in Centennial Lakes Park, 7499 France Ave. S. After serving the City of Edina for six years, K-9 Gryf will retire at the end of June. Gryf and his handler, Mike Bengtson, have responded to 538 total calls for service over the years, including calls for tracking, building searches, article searches, narcotic searches and high-risk stops. There will be a meet and greet with Gryf to send him into retirement. If attendees are inclined to bring a gift, donations for Secondhand Hounds will be collected.

Aside from training, the Crime Fund supplies all K-9 equipment, food and veterinarian bills. The department plans to get another K-9 in 2025 to fill Gryf’s spot. This event will take place rain or shine. If the weather allows, it will take place on Hughes Pavilion patio. If it is raining, the event will be inside Hughes Pavilion.
