Handler – Officer Benjamin Zink
It is with deep sadness we report the passing of NJTPD K9 Magnus. Magnus, (Latin meaning: great), joined our department in July of 2010. He faithfully served as part of an explosives detection team along with his partner, K9 Officer Benjamin Zink. Together the pair helped to protect and secure the NJ TRANSIT system and all within the great state of New Jersey. Magnus served for 10 dedicated years but ultimately lost his life due to sudden medical complications. The entire NJTPD would like to thank K9 Magnus for his faithful years of service to the department and the community.
