Community Mourns Passing Of K9 Bullet<\/p>\n
Barnegat Police recently honored the passing of one of their own, K9 Bullet, with an End of Watch ceremony. The department, along with Whiting Veterinary Clinic staff, said goodbye to K9 Bullet at the clinic on Jan. 10, 2020. \u201cIt was a solemn day with multiple police department\u2019s Officers and K9\u2019s in attendance at Whiting Veterinary honoring Bullet and showing support for Officer Armstrong,\u201d wrote Dr. Lisa Schorr of Whiting Veterinary in a post to their social media. K9 Bullet was a Belgian Malinois, a high-energy breed similar to a German Shepard. Bullet came to Barnegat from Holland, where he was raised and received his initial obedience training. Alongside Barnegat Officer Rob Armstrong, Bullet began patrol, narcotics detection and human tracking training in 2009. \u201cBullet had an extremely successful career locating illegal drugs and illegal drug proceeds, searching for fleeing suspects and lost seniors and of course his highest priority providing physical protection for his handler Officer Armstrong and fellow officers,\u201d wrote Dr. Schorr. \u201cAnother important duty he loved was community policing, performing demonstrations of his K9 skills at community events for entertainment and education of the public.\u201d When he wasn\u2019t sniffing out drugs or protecting Barnegat\u2019s police force, Bullet lived at home with Officer Armstrong and his family. After more than 10 years of dedicated service to his department, Bullet was honored with an End of Watch just like his fellow officers would receive. \u201cIt has been an honor and a privilege to provide veterinary care for Bullet from the day that Officer Armstrong introduced himself and Bullet to me with Bullet\u2019s leash in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other. What a pleasure it was to witness Bullet\u2019s skills demonstrated at our annual Open House events, in fact Bullet\u2019s first attendance at our Open House was the very day after completion of Police K9 Training and his first day of patrol duty!\u201d wrote Dr. Schorr. \u201cI am honored to know Rob Armstrong and honored to have known Bullet.\u201d The Barnegat community mourned the passing of Bullet by sharing Dr. Schorr\u2019s heartfelt post across social media, extending their condolences to the Barnegat Police and saying goodbye to K9 Bullet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
