Honoring PSD Ranger: A Loyal K9's Final Call to Service
In this heartfelt tribute, the Waterloo Regional Police Service celebrates the incredible career of Police Service Dog (PSD) Ranger, who is retiring after eight years of dedicated service with the K9 Unit.
Officer Abdul Zalmay reflects on his deep bond with Ranger, sharing personal insights into their journey together — from the early days of training to hundreds of high-stakes deployments. Ranger, known for his sharp focus on the job and goofy personality at home, has been more than just a partner — he’s been family.
Throughout his career, Ranger contributed to over 600 deployments, assisted in 85 arrests, and helped seize evidence in 50 investigations. His commitment and courage made a lasting impact on the community.
Now, as he hangs up his badge, Ranger begins a well-earned retirement where he’ll simply enjoy life as a dog — surrounded by love and care.
