INDIANAPOLIS — On Tuesday, a member of the Indiana State Police is retiring. However, it's not the usual type that dons a badge and uniform. It's someone who wears a fur coat, four paws and a tail to work every day. On Friday, ISP announced that their K9 Apache is heading into retirement. This will commence via a special ceremony for the German Shepherd, where Apache will conduct a drug sniff at a training site.

ISP also added that Apache will receive a final 10-42 broadcast: a call to dispatch indicating an officer is ending their tour of duty. This event will take place almost exactly seven years after Apache suffered a gunshot wound to the neck in a police-action shooting. Thankfully, the pooch completely recovered and is entering his retirement in full health.
