Klamath Falls P.D. loses narcotics dog in hit-and-run<\/p>\n
The Klamath Falls Police Department is mourning the loss of Police Canine Nash following a hit-and-run collision Thursday. A narcotics detection dog, which joined the department earlier this year, Nash died after being struck by a vehicle while off duty. \u201cIt\u2019s a sad moment, it\u2019s a hard situation for people to deal with,\u201d said Police Chief Dave Henslee. \u201cWe as humans get close to animals and it\u2019s tough.\u201d Henslee said the identity of the driver remains unknown and Oregon State Police are investigating the matter. Nash had been assigned to Officer Amiee Reichlin, who has served city police for 17 years and has also been president of the department\u2019s non-profit K-9 association for the last 10. Reichlin became part of the K-9 program after a position opened during the summer. Henslee said Reichlin has agreed to remain a handler and will train with a new narcotics dog following a selection process by the department. Henslee said a private ceremony for officer\u2019s and Reichlin\u2019s family will be held for Nash \u201cto honor his service to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
