It is with profound sadness the Edmonton Police Service Canine Unit announces the passing of Retired Police Service Dog Larry.

PSD Larry and his handler Sergeant Brian Parker attended over 1400 calls for service and were responsible for more than 130 arrests.

Prior to joining the unit, PSD Larry served as a patrol dog with the Medicine Hat Police Service. When his previous handler became a NHL referee, Larry, still young, ready to work and looking for a new home, found his place with Edmonton and the EPS.

In 2018, Sergeant Parker and PSD Larry competed in the Canadian Police Canine Association National Trials in Vancouver where Larry placed first overall in the Agility competition.

After the team retired in 2019, PSD Larry was able to enjoy a long retirement with his family.

Together, PSD Larry and Sergeant Parker served the Edmonton community with courage, integrity, resilience, and honor.

PSD Larry (2011-2026): Forever Watchful, Never Forgotten.

Hiring an immigration representative to help with your Canadian visa application?

Watch out for Unauthorized Practitioners (UAPs). A UAP is anyone who provides Canadian immigration advice for a fee or other consideration without being licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, a Canadian law society, or the Chambre des notaires du Québec. Doing this is illegal.

Red Dress Day honours the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people, and raises awareness of this ongoing national crisis.

Inspired by Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette’s REDress Project, red dresses have become a powerful symbol of the lives lost and the voices that must be heard.
