Lake County, IL. – Lake County Sheriff John D. Idleburg is proud to announce that K9 Lux, a direct offspring of the late K9 Dax, has officially joined the Lake County Sheriff’s Office as its newest police canine.
K9 Dax, a highly decorated member of the Sheriff’s Canine Unit, was injured in March 2024 while apprehending a fleeing felon. The severity of his injuries led to his early retirement, and he sadly passed away on April 12, 2024.
Before his passing, K9 Dax fathered a litter of puppies. Among them, Deputy John Forlenza, Dax’s longtime partner, recognized that one stood out with the potential to follow in his father’s footsteps. That puppy, K9 Lux, was selected as the top candidate for future law enforcement training.
Deputy Forlenza was one of two deputies selected this winter to be a handler of one of the sheriff’s office next two canines. Upon receiving this opportunity, he donated K9 Lux to Tops K9, the training facility responsible for preparing the Sheriff’s Canine Unit. K9 Lux and Deputy Forlenza have officially partnered, to be the newest Lake County Sheriff’s Office Canine Team and the two will begin training together this spring.
