Died – 8\/22\/20
\nHandler – Specialist II Fred Laitinen<\/p>\n
K9 Cops was a member of the Green Bay Wisconsin Police K9 Unit. Cops, passed away after battling serious medical issues over several months. Cops was the youngest of our 6 four-legged officers and started his career on March 10, 2014,in New Mexico, the first day of training with his new handler, Specialist II Fred Laitinen. It is never easy to say good bye to a friend and partner, but it is even harder when that day comes so much sooner than anticipated. Canine handlers form a special bond with their canines, a bond that most of us, even their fellow police officers, will probably never fully understand. Our canine handlers do not just work with their furry partners, they live with them and they become a part of their family. They are with them 24\/7.Thank you for your service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
