Throughout his career, Sergeant Fischer has served in a variety of assignments across the department, including the Special Investigations Unit, Center City supervisor and as a longtime member of our Emergency Response Team. Most recently, he has supervised our Violent Criminal Apprehension Team, helping oversee efforts focused on some of the city’s most serious offenders and violent crimes.

🩵🐶Healing hearts and Saving lives!🐶🩵

We are so thankful for our Animal Protective Services officers and the work they do in our community, and this morning is a prime example of why.

Early this morning, Officer Ormond responded to a stray dog behind a business on West Arlington Boulevard. Officer Ormond was able to find the dog in a ditch, but the dog was deaf, partially blind, nearly hypothermic due to water in the ditch, and was in dire need of medical attention. With assistance from Officer Landry, the dog was safely removed from the ditch and was taken to a vet for medical attention.

When the officers contacted the dog's owners, they found out that the owners had been desperately searching for their missing 15-year-old dog, Lucy, who they had last seen on April 27th. But thanks to the efforts of Officer Ormond and Officer Landry, Lucy was reunited with her owners and is expected to recover.

We are so thankful to have APS officers that have such immense compassion and care for the well-being of the four-legged members of our community!
