The post said the pure-bred German Shepherd was born in Innisfail, AB, on Jan. 24, 2014, and joined the MJPS shortly after.
Scheske and Siren spent six years patrolling the streets of Moose Jaw, sniffing out crime and keeping the community safe, it said.
The post said that highlights of Siren’s career included finding multiple robbery suspects in the heart of winter, helping to arrest a group of car burglars, and tracking a suspect involved in an assault.
MJPS said that when Siren wasn’t on duty, she enjoyed much-needed family time with the Scheske clan, dock jumps, and lounging in her kiddie pool on a hot summer day. Siren also enjoyed the finer delicacies in life, such as nibbling on watermelon, the taste of a cheeseburger, or a cool and refreshing ice cream.
Siren retired from MJPS in 2021.
