With heavy hearts, we inform you that retired K9 Tiffany passed away on 12/19. Tiffers was a super sweet black lab that served 3 years with the United States Marines and then almost 7 years the Dubuque Police Department as a single purpose explosive detection K9. Tiffany retired from the DPD in 2019 with 70 total deployments and was just over 13 years old.

We had to break the tough news that you can't be a K9 when you grow up, but you can be a K9 handler! ;) Thanks to Dubuque Community School District for allowing Nitro into your classrooms for what a day on the job looks like.

Our K9s had a special visitor stop by today! K9s4Cops.org, a non-profit that donates K9s to police departments, visited our officers and K9s. K9 Eisen (left) was actually purchased by K9s 4 Cops and donated to the Dubuque Police Department after becoming certified in illegal narcotics, suspect apprehension, area searches, tracking and more to keep our community safe. Thank you K9s 4 Cops for your support and making this important work possible and thanks for visiting Dubuque!
