R.I.P. K9 Kylo E.O.W. 9-25-2026 Portland Police Bureau Killed on last day before retirement. 😭😭🐾🐾🐾 "Today is a stark reminder of the dangers our police officers face every day. Two Central Precinct officers were attacked and assaulted while assisting on a low-level abatement call. Both were taken to the hospital and are thankfully now home recovering. Hours later, officers from multiple agencies, including Portland, attempted to take a suspect into custody. Tragically, K-9 Kylo died while protecting the lives of police officers. Kylo was working the final shift of his career before retirement. There will be much to say in the days ahead about Kylo, his sacrifice, and the officers he protected. Tonight, our hearts are with his handler, his family, and all those who worked alongside him. He will never be forgotten. These two calls began very differently, but both are reminders of how quickly an ordinary call can become extraordinarily dangerous for those who respond. We are deeply grateful for the men and women who continue to show up, answer the call, and protect our community every day." — Sgt. Aaron Schmautz President, Portland Police Association
