(STILLWATER, OK) – The Stillwater Police Department (SPD) announces the retirement of K9 Egon, who faithfully served the community since November 2017. His official retirement date was July 12, 2024.
K9 Egon was certified in apprehension and narcotic detection in the Special Projects Division. His work contributed to numerous successful operations to safeguard Stillwater residents and those in nearby communities. He also participated in multiple outreach projects, such as school educational demonstrations. K9 Egon left a lasting impact on both his colleagues and the Stillwater community.
SPD will miss K9 Egon and extend the deepest gratitude to him and his handler, Detective Newly McSpadden, for their collaborative efforts and exemplary service.
