K9 Brina passes.

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office regretfully announces the passing of retired K9 Brina. 

K9 Brina was born in Slovakia on December 6, 2014. Her name was originally “Kina,” however, was changed to avoid confusion with two other Sheriff’s Office K9’s at the time, “Kenna” and “Karma.” She was renamed “Brina” which has Slovic roots and means “Defender.”

K9 Brina began her service with the Sheriff’s Office in February of 2017. K9 Brina was a dual-purpose patrol canine and trained in narcotics detection, tracking, building searches, suspect apprehension and handler protection. K9 Brina was medically retired in March of 2019 due to back and hip issues that prevented her from doing her job without pain. During her brief time in service, K9 Brina apprehended a fleeing suspect in Somerset County after tracking the suspect through the woods and assisted with numerous drug seizures and arrests. 

Lt. Katie Edgar served as K9 Brina’s friend and handler. K9 Brina lived a comfortable retired life on Lt. Edgar’s 5-acre farm until her passing on March 27, 2024.
