K9 Aron Houston Police Department, Texas End of Watch Monday, June 12, 2023
K9 Aron succumbed to heat exhaustion after the temperature monitoring alarm system failed while the patrol vehicle was idling.
K9 Aron was left in a patrol vehicle with the air conditioner running. All Houston Police Department K9 vehicles have an alarm system that activates when the inside temperature rises to unsafe levels. The monitor system notifies the handler, sounds a horn, and can lower the windows. The system malfunctioned when the air conditioner failed. When the handler returned to his vehicle and noticed K9 Aron in distress, he transported him to a veterinarian clinic, where K9 Aron succumbed to heat exhaustion.
K9 Aron had served with the Houston Police Department for 1 1/2 years.
