We should all love our jobs as much as she did. According to her partner, “Rika’s” favorite phrase was “wanna go to work?”. She helped find illegal drugs in numerous incidents and she had fun doing so. “Rika” was always quick to raid the Animal Control office for treats and toys (she knew where the good stuff was). We will all miss her but she will never be forgotten. Rest Peacefully “Rika”.”
