Police News Releases

The National Police Canine Association (NPCA) has named City of Moorhead Police Officer Brett Musich and K9 Zeke as the winners of the national Case of the Year in the Patrol category.

In September 2022, there was a shooting in Fargo and the suspects fled.  Moorhead officers pursued the suspects east on I-94. The suspects’ car hit a ditch and they fled on foot, hiding in a culvert.

Officer Musich and his K9 partner Zeke tracked the four suspects, found them and assisted in their apprehension. They also recovered several firearms at the scene.

Officer Musich will be flown to San Antonio this month to accept the award. The NPCA is a non-profit association dedicated to the training, development, and certification of law enforcement canine teams and their administrations.
