The South Simcoe Police Service is saddened to announce the passing of retired Police Service Dog Chase. 

Retired K9 Chase passed away on Monday, April 3, 2023, at the age of 11. 

Chase proudly served alongside Police Constable Brett Jacques from 2013 to 2017, when Jacques retired. PC Jacques was the first K9 handler at the South Simcoe Police Service, starting in 1998 with partner Police Service Dog Sampson. 

The name “Chase” was picked as a winner in a contest that invited school children to submit names. Over 300 entries were received but PC Jacques says "Chase" best described what Chase liked to do best. 

Today, Brett spoke about how Chase truly belonged to the community and the many positive interactions Chase had in Bradford and Innisfil.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Chase and Brett for their dedication and service.  Our thoughts are with Brett and his family at this time.
