The Batavia Police Department is mourning after losing a fellow officer. Kraft was the department’s first K-9. On Monday, he died after being accidentally struck by a car, the department said. “(He) did a one hell of a job. I don’t think we will ever be lucky enough to have such a great K-9 as him,” Batavia police Chief Michael Gardner said.Kraft worked with Officer Chris McMillan. It’s unclear if Kraft was working when the accident happened. But one thing is for sure, he will be missed. “Your service to Batavia Police Department was greatly appreciated. Go and play ball in heaven my buddy,” Gardner said.
