\nHandler – Officer Kevin Pimpinelli<\/p>\n
K9 Mullen Dies<\/p>\n
It is with deep regret that I announce the sudden passing of canine \u201cMullen\u201d, who was the devoted and loyal partner of Police Officer Kevin Pimpinelli of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department. Officer Pimpinelli had to make the difficult decision on February 13, 2018 due to Canine Mullen\u2019s diminishing health. \u201cMullen\u201d was named in honor of MTA Police Sgt. John Mullen. Sgt. John Mullen suffered a fatal heart attack while on duty on January 26, 2007. \u201cMullen\u201d and Officer Pimpinelli were assigned to the MTA Police Department Special Operations Division where they protected the citizens of the Metropolitan NYC Area by deterring acts of terrorism and protected countless dignitaries including two sitting United States Presidents. They successfully prevented and solved numerous crimes throughout their career. \u201cMullen\u201d was certified by the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA), NAPWDA, and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in Patrol and Explosives Detection. In 2011 Mullen achieved a first place finish in the U.S. Police Canine Association National Trials and a gold and silver medal at the US Police and Fireman Olympics for explosives detection. \u201cMullen\u201d, loyal trusted partner and friend will be especially missed by all the members of the \u201cPimpinelli\u201d family, especially the children whom he lived to protect and play with. Officer Pimpinelli and K9 Mullen were members of the CPWDA joining on 2\/16\/13 through 2015. <\/p>\n
