The New Castle County Division of Police has announced the passing of retired K9 Ax, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of a canine who gave years of service to the community.
Ax was born on September 1, 2013, in Slovakia, and came to the United States to join the Division in 2015. He was paired with Master Corporal Chad Carter, and the two worked side by side protecting and serving the residents of New Castle County.
After years of dedicated work, Ax officially retired on November 14, 2023, closing out a career that spanned nearly a decade from his birthplace in Slovakia to the streets of New Castle County.
