Handler – Officer Craig Sammon
Retired Rochester police dog dies at age 13
One of the Rochester Police Department’s retired K9s was laid to rest on Tuesday. According to Captain Michael Drees, Keegan the K9 was handled by RPD Officer Craig Sammon. Captain Drees said the team received initial training in the spring of 2007. Drees also said Keegan retired from the unit in 2013 when his “new priority” was being a family member in his home. “Keegan was a member of our RPD family and will be missed but not forgotten,” Drees said. The Rochester Police Department has posted a video in honor of Keegan’s memory on their Facebook page.
