Weymouth police mourn K9 officer<\/p>\n
The Weymouth Police Department announced the passing of one of their K-9 officers Monday. K9 Officer Ali died Sunday, he was 12 years old. His partner Captain Dave Phillips said, “For over 11 years, K-9 Ali was a faithful partner and companion. He will truly be missed.” Ali was originally from Czechoslovakia and was first trained as a patrol dog in Weymouth in 2004. The next year, he was cross-trained to detect narcotics. “To have a special animal in your life is truly a blessing, but to have worked with a dog like Ali is an experience I will always cherish forever. Every police dog is unique in their own way, yet simultaneously they all serve the same common purpose; to protect and serve the citizens of their respective communities,” Phillips said. He went on to say, “Although K-9 Ali is gone, I am comforted by the fact that he did his job well and served the citizens of Weymouth proudly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
