Jason Buckly, 28, was headed north on Adams Street in Peoria's North Valley about 6:50 p.m. when a car in the immediate left lane, also going north, veered right into the squad car. VEHICLE ACCIDENT, EUTHANIZED Buckley initially complained of neck and back pain. He was transported to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, where his injuries were being described as non life-threatening at 9 p.m. Uno the German Shepherd, the newest of the Peoria County Sheriff's Department's three police dogs, received massive injuries. He was euthanized at a local animal clinic Thursday night. Neither the driver of the other car, Jason Coyne, 21, of Lakeville and nor his passenger, Allison Gates, 22, of Decatur, were injured.

It is a with a heavy heart that I am informing you that I have lost my K-9 Partner Ulan.  He passed away the evening on Jan 4th. we beleive he was suffering from Spinal Degenerative Molopothy. Ulan Was born on Dec. 9th in Holland. He began service with our department in July of 1999. Since then he has been an invaluble asset to our small community and a cherished member of my family. Ulan's service record was impeckable, and was eager to go to work , even in his last days.  Ulan will be sorely missed by me and my fiancé, Kari,  and my children Ashley, Derek Ryan and Samantha. I am attaching a picture to this post in hopes of possibly receiving some memorial cards. we are having a service for Ulan Friday the 13th of January.
