Beloved CPD K9 passes away

A beloved K9 of the Cookeville Police Department passed away Monday from an unforeseen medical condition. K9 Kaine joined the CPD in January 2015 and was assigned to Officer Ryder Cook October 2016. “Officer Cook and Kaine had been one of the strongest K9 teams that I have ever had the pleasure to train and work beside,” said Lt. James Harris, the CPD’s K9 coordinator. Kaine was certified multiple times as a dual purpose canine by the North American Police Work Dog Association and had many deployments during his time with the CPD. “Kaine was very focused in his work as a police dog and consistently served the City of Cookeville, along with other mutual aid calls,” reads the CPD’s release. “We will greatly miss our K9 partner who stood by Ryder’s side and who unselfishly served his community.”
