Dartmouth Police announce death of K9 officer Reaper

It is with a heavy heart that Chief Levesque and the members of Dartmouth Police Department announce the passing of Officer Jared White’s former K-9 partner, Reaper, who passed away yesterday. During his ten years of service, Reaper was deployed on many occasions, including patrol functions, narcotics investigations, SWAT incidents, and demonstrations. Dartmouth Police will clearly miss the K9. “Nothing on his resume’ could ever compare to the relationship, loyalty, and love that he had with Jared. Rest easy Reaper. We know that the Rainbow Bridge is now well protected!”
