A message from K9 Sirk’s handler, Officer Steve Hall:

They say a dog is a man’s best friend, that couldn’t be truer when you have a K9 as a partner. Working with K9 Sirk was the most rewarding thing I have done in my career and life. He was much more than just a working dog, he was a partner, a brother in blue and a part of the family. He helped countless amounts of people, whether it was a call for a missing person or a K9 demonstration at touch a truck. He has touched so many lives and will continue to live on through happy memories. For a big bad police K9 he truly had a heart of gold. To my good friend and forever partner, you are the best boy, thank you for all you did for the Town of Duxbury and for me personally. You will always have a place in my heart. You may rest now, I have the watch. K9 Sirk EOW 05/28/2026

It is with heavy hearts that the Duxbury Police Department announces the passing of K9 Sirk. Following an 8-year career as a patrol K9 with the Duxbury Police Department he passed away after a short battle with cancer. We thank Dr. Hebert and all of the veterinary staff at the Duxbury Animal Hospital for years of care throughout his career. A special thank you to the veterinary staff at the VCA in Weymouth for their compassionate care in Sirk's final moments. K9 Sirk had a hero's send off yesterday as he was escorted by the Duxbury Police Department during his final ride with his handler, Officer Stephen Hall. Rest in peace K9 Sirk, end of watch May 28, 2026.
