Georgia Police Department in Mourning After | Political News
A Georgia police division is in mourning after the latest and beloved member of the Okay-9 unit, a bloodhound named Georgia, died after being left in a scorching patrol car by a deputy who’s since been fired.
In a Facebook assertion on Tuesday from the Dade County Sheriff’s workplace in Trenton, the division, who labeled the pup “sweet” and “goofy,” wrote that their hearts have been aching after dropping her because her handler left in a car with temperatures outdoors reaching between 100-102 levels after the patrol car’s air-con unit failed.
Look at that image of the candy pet.

“Our hearts are aching at the loss of K-9 Georgia. Many of you know that she was donated to us by a local family at no cost to the sheriff’s office,” the assertion learn. “She was an amazing bloodhound who was sweet, goofy, and had all the potential to be the ‘best of the best.’ She will be deeply missed by everyone at our office and by anyone who had the pleasure to meet her.”
The assertion then broke down what occurred.
“Georgia’s Handler was inside the Sheriff’s Office while Georgia was in her patrol car,” the release learn. “Unfortunately, a combination of the following factors caused K-9 Georgia to pass away inside the vehicle’s kennel.”
“The Sheriff’s Office immediately launched an investigation into the incident. What we found was that the air conditioner compressor on the patrol unit malfunctioned while K-9 Georgia’s Handler was inside the Sheriff’s Office, requiring total replacement of the compressor,” it added. “The patrol vehicle was also equipped with a heat alarm that was not functioning. Those previous two factors, coupled with K-9 Georgia being left unattended for what we considered to be an unacceptable amount of time, contributed to her passing.”
The assertion from the GA division not only addressed the tragedy but also revealed that adjustments could be happening transferring ahead.
“Going forward, any K-9 vehicle we have will be taken out of service if ANY of the essential K-9 equipment isn’t in 100% working order,” it learn. “We are also going to overhaul our K-9 handler policy, and K-9s WILL NOT be left in vehicles for extended periods of time during summer.”
“At the direction of Sheriff Cross, K-9 Georgia’s handler is no longer an employee of Dade County Sheriff’s Office, and this entire incident will be turned over to the Dade County District Attorney’s Office to determine if prosecution is warranted in this particular case,” it added.
“We will be 100% transparent about this incident! After we get a decision from the Dade County District Attorney’s Office about prosecution, we will know what additional details we can (or cannot) release,” it concluded, not offering additional particulars about precisely how long the pup was in the car.
Whether it is a police division dropping one of their service canine or one of our own pups, canine have such a particular place in all our hearts.Â
