Chief Ron Murtaugh wrote on Facebook, "He embraced the Ralston Police
Department’s philosophy
of community comes
first.
Anyone that met K9
Officer Konig, knew that
he was very social and
friendly. However, in
addition we knew he had
our
back and was a great investigator." He went on to say, "Today, he will
continue his retirement
romping in the fields
across

Police K-9 killed by
vehicle
A
young Orleans County Sheriff's Department K9 named "Kilo"
was killed Sunday when he was struck by a car in Derby.
Chief Deputy Philip Brooks said the eight-month-old German
Shepard was walking with his partner and trainer,
Deputy Tyler Jacobs, when he bolted across a roadway and was
struck by a vehicle and killed around 1 p.m. Sunday.
The pair were off duty at the time of the accident. Brooks said the dog
was young and very curious, and apparently
saw an animal on the other side of the street. Jacobs tried to give a
command to stop the dog, but it came too late,
Brooks said. Kilo was born June first of 2014, and was
acquired by the Orleans Sheriff's Department in August of
that year. The pup was still in training when he died.
Jacobs and Kilo had just completed the third week of a
six-week
drug detection class at the Vermont Police Academy. Kilo was recognized as
one of the top canines in the class.

Cancer kills police dog Kony
Police service dog Kony with his handler, Officer Tyler Dean
A police dog and
eight-year year veteran of the Lincoln Police Department died
Wednesday, a week before he was set to retire.
Kony, a German
shepard from the Czech Republic, was scheduled to live with his
handler of eight years, Officer Tyler Dean,
as a pet after a career
that included going out on nearly 700 service calls, making 75
felony arrests and seizing $750,000
worth of drugs, according to a
department news release. But Dean took Kony to the vet after his
partner was acting strangely,
and doctors discovered a hemangiosarcoma tumor, a highly aggressive cancer. They decided to
put Kony down. “Kony will be
remembered as affectionate, although a
hard-working and tireless tracker,” police said in the release.
