After 10 years of service K9 Hunter officially retired yesterday. I couldn’t be more proud of his career and everything he accomplished. From (3) 1st place regional PD-1 titles, (1) 1st place national agility title, locating a missing Alzheimer’s patient in a creek saving his life, tracking down numerous criminals, and locating countless amount of narcotics he excelled every part of being a police dog. One of the most important aspects of his career was the role Hunter played in the community. We conducted hundreds of public demonstrations where Hunter was always a fan favorite, especially with the kids. This was always one of the most important parts of K9 in Tinton Falls. Our community is the best, and it was one of the most rewarding aspects of my career to interact and form the relationships we have.

Driving to work today alone wasn’t easy. Hunter will be missed, but he will enjoy living out retirement with my family and I. To everyone who has supported Hunter over the years thank you. I am forever grateful for the memories and accomplishments we made together. Our bond was special. He was hard wired and built to do his job. I know he loved every minute of it, just as much as I did.
