OSP Invites Oregon Youth To Help Name New Fish & Wildlife K-9 (Photo) - 06/04/26

SALEM, Ore. (3 June 2026) – Paws up for OSP’s newest K-9 recruit. The one-year-old red Labrador Retriever is currently training to join K-9 Scout and K-9 Drake to help protect Oregon’s natural resources as part of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation K-9 program. While we’ll always call him “Good Dog,” he’s ready for a new, official name.

OSP is inviting Oregon youth ages 9-17 to help name the new dog. Because the K-9 and its trooper partner are assigned to the Fish and Wildlife Division, suggested names should be wildlife, fish, or outdoors-related.

Contest Rules:

• Entries may be submitted now through June 14, 2026
• Entries must be submitted using the OSP online entry form
• The contest is open to Oregon youth ages 9-17
• One entry per youth
• Suggested names must be wildlife, fish, or outdoors-related
• Finalists will be selected from the submitted entries for statewide voting
• The youth with the winning entry will get a chance to meet the K-9 and receive other recognition items from OSP

Think you’ve got the perfect name? Send in your suggestion and help welcome OSP’s newest K-9 trooper to the team.

OSP’s conservation K-9 program began in 2018 with K-9 Buck, who recently retired from active service. Fish and Wildlife K-9s receive specialized training in wildlife detection, human tracking, and area searches to support investigations into the illegal take of birds, wildlife, and fish around the state. Dogs are trained to detect deer, elk, bear, turkey, waterfowl, salmon, and sturgeon, as well as firearms, shell casings, and other items containing gunpowder residue. Conservation K-9 teams have been instrumental during investigations into poaching, missing persons, and other criminal activity.

The new conservation K-9 team will be stationed at OSP’s La Grande patrol office, joining teams currently based in Bend and Springfield.

The Conservation K-9 program is a collaboration between the Oregon State Police and the Oregon Wildlife Foundation. The Oregon Wildlife Foundation maintains the Wildlife Conservation K-9 Fund to help cover expenses associated with the canine members of the Conservation K-9 teams. Donations to the fund support the costs of veterinary care, training equipment, and other essential supplies.

Recognizing A Century-Old Sacrifice: Game Warden Arthur S. Hubbard Added To National Memorial For Fallen Officers (Photo) - 05/15/26

Salem, Ore. (15 May 2026) – Every year, the names of officers killed in the line of duty are added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. The memorial stands as a tribute to the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers in the commission of their duties, helping to make their communities safer.

This year, 363 names were added to the memorial wall, including 109 officers who died in the line of duty in 2025. Among the 254 names added for those who died in previous years is Arthur Stephen Hubbard, a warden with the Oregon Fish and Game Commission who was killed in 1914.

Game Warden Arthur S. Hubbard was shot and killed on December 17, 1914, while serving a search warrant alongside a local constable near Trail in Jackson County. The warrant had been issued in connection with a suspected game violation. The officers encountered the individual outside his cabin. Following a brief exchange, the suspect raised his rifle and fatally shot Game Warden Hubbard.

Warden Hubbard had served for three years prior to his death. He was 37 years old and was survived by his wife and two children.

The suspect, Loris Martin, was taken into custody by the county sheriff; however, he claimed he shot the warden in self-defense and was eventually acquitted of Hubbard’s murder. At the time, state game warden W.L. Finley called the verdict a travesty and refused to appoint another game warden to Jackson County.

The Fish and Game Commission served as an independent agency until it was consolidated with the State Highway Commission, Prohibition Commission, and State Fire Marshal to form the Oregon State Police in August 1931. Today, the Oregon State Police continues its service as a multi-disciplined organization charged with protecting Oregon’s people, wildlife, and natural resources.

Earlier this year, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund contacted OSP to request information about Hubbard’s death so his name could be added to the memorial wall. Members of OSP’s Honor Guard traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the annual remembrance and honor Oregon’s fallen heroes.

Captain Kyle Kennedy, who completed the application for the addition of Game Warden Hubbard on the national memorial and was a long-time honor guard member said, “The Oregon State Police has always honored Arthur Hubbard as one of our fallen. We are thankful to see the inclusion of his name on the National Law Enforcement Memorial. Every peace officer knows they may pay the ultimate price. For those who do, we are obligated to the fallen and their family to remember their legacy.”

The Oregon State Police has lost 34 members to line-of-duty deaths. These brave individuals made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the people of Oregon, and we honor their heroism today and every day.
