Carmel Police K9 Axl dies after sudden illness

CARMEL, IN - It is with great sadness we announce the death of Carmel Police Department (CPD) K9 Axl, who developed a sudden illness last week and passed away on Friday, June 16, 2023. K9 Axl started his career with CPD in 2017 and initially worked alongside Officer Katy Malloy. K9 Axl and Officer Malloy worked together for approximately two years before she was promoted to the rank of sergeant. Officer Jamie Reynolds then became K9 Axl's new handler and they remained partners for the remainder of his career.

Officer Reynolds, Sgt. Malloy, their families and the Carmel Police Department are deeply saddened at the loss of such a well-loved and devoted member of our police family. K9 Axl was a hard-working partner who selflessly served the citizens of the City of Carmel and Hamilton County. He was responsible for locating large quantities of illegal narcotics and numerous articles of evidence and contraband during his career and he will be greatly missed.

Please join us as we honor the life and loyal service of CPD K9 Axl.
