Tigard's K-9, Baxter was bred in Europe. Prior to Tigard Police selecting Baxter,
several other dogs were considered, but for various reasons did not meet the standards
for acceptance by Tigard Police. Baxter is a male pure bred German Shepherd. Officer Brian Jackson will be Baxter's appointed handler. On a daily basis, Officer Jackson works with Baxter to mold him into the best possible police tracking dog. Baxter has always received high marks his natural instincts and abilities. It is important for a handler to be in precise sync with his canine mate. Officer Jackson and Baxter have had good success to date with suspect locates and apprehensions. Considering the young age of Baxter and his already keen abilities, his maturity will only add to his laurels. K-9s are considered an important component in the continued efforts for a community to remain competitive in the fight to reduce crime. The added ability for tracking, delaying and locating suspects involved in crimes can prove to be invaluable to a police department. Tigard Police is proud of its K-9 program and continually strives to provide the best possible service and maintain the safety of its citizens. |
