The MSU Police Department and Division of Student Affairs last week celebrated the career and retirement of Migel, left, one of the university’s first K9 officers, who has faithfully served for nearly 12 years alongside Sgt. Patrick Jenkins. Migel’s retirement party also served as the swearing-in ceremony for his successor, Padi, right, who will follow in his footsteps as she accompanies Jenkins on duty going forward. Migel, a German Shepherd and Malinois cross, will live out the remainder of his life at home as a member of the Jenkins family. He also will continue to remain under the care of MSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine, which is treating him for degenerative myelopathy. Jenkins said Migel has assisted with approximately 1,500 safety checks and explosive clearings conducted prior to sporting and other special events while on campus and assisting other law enforcement agencies. “He brought an enhanced layer of safety to not only me in my job, but to our entire campus,” Jenkins said.
