No matter how much time has gone by, I can still vividly remember where I was, what I was doing as if it was just yesterday....

The shock and disbelief of what happened, the hurt that followed but the strength in our unity the next day that exemplified the strength of our great nation and citizens.

Its goes without saying, we are the land of the free and home of the brave thanks to all of the men and women in our military and first responders.

Take today to cherish your family, thank our veterans, remember our fallen, and give thanks to all the freedom we are fortunate to have in our great nation.

Great job K-9 Bolo!!! ❤️🐾🚔💪🏽

Last week, Marlboro Police was alerted to a subject with dementia who had walked away from his residence. Our Dispatch received the call approximately 20 minutes after the subject had gone missing. Immediately, Patrol Officers began to search the area while Ptlm. Abrahamson and his K9 partner Bolo were called to the scene. A track was conducted which led our officers to the subject’s location. He was found unresponsive, lying in a landscaping bed. Patrol Officers then treated the subject until first aid arrived and transported the patient to the hospital. Another successful track for Bolo and a great job by all the officers involved!

What a great today! We went back to our roots today and had the honor of vesting K-9 Ugo with Trenton Police Dept. For those that remember, Trenton K-9 Unit helped establish our orginization back in 2011. Its honor to come back and help protect the new K-9 teams hitting the streets.

Big shout out to John Burke and James Kozik with New Century Tax & Accounting Services for donating the funds necessary to help purchase Ugo's vest. Not to mention, they donated funds at the presentation to help protect our next K-9!! ❤️🙌🏽

A little background on K-9 Ugo and K-9 Handler Mahan. They work on a specialized unit with the New Jersey State Police working on "confidential" things. Lets just say, Ugo loves sniffing out drugs and he's darn good at it ;)

K-9 Ugo is from
He was named after Tyler Ugolyn. Tyler was a Columbia University graduate (at age 23) when he started his dream job as a research assistant with Fred Alger Management Inc at the World Trade Center. During the events of 9/11, Tyler passed away. K-9 Ugo carries on the memory of Tyler. All of the dogs at Penn Vet are named after people who passed away during 9/11. 💙🇺🇲🙏🏽

Our thoughts and prayers are with K9 Cherno, K9 Officer Doug Montgomery, The Montgomery family and everyone who had the honor of working with or knowing Cherno. He will be greatly missed...
RIP K9 Cherno 💙🐾🚔💙

**Repost from
Today, my big brother Cherno is crossing the rainbow bridge to run and jump and sniff it out forever. Cherno lived a long and adventurous 13 1/2 years. 10 years of service with a long list of accomplishments, and over 3 years of retirement full of treats and belly rubs. It's amazing how much love one dog could give. Always the ladies man and always the consummate professional. Business was top priority but there was always room for a good game of fetch. To an eternity of barking as much as you want without getting yelled at. Thank you, Cherno, for paving the way for other k9's and being my big brother. You will be missed by so many but not as much as by me. So much love 💔•

A very big thank you to Dr. T. Without him our family would not have had as much time as we did with Cherno. 13 1/2 years. Thank you. •

*repost from

With great sadness, we announce the passing of retired Ewing Police K9 Brix.

K9 Brix was a male Belgian Malinois from the Netherlands. Brix was a dual-purpose explosive detection dog assigned to the patrol division. Brix's handler was Lt. Larry Cabell #161. Brix served the Ewing Police Department from 2012 to 2018. He lived his remaining years with his handler and enjoyed his retirement in the comfort of his home.

RIP K9 Brix.

Excellent work K-9 Bolo and K-9 Officer Abrahamson!!! ❤️🐾🚔💪🏽

Last week, the Marlboro Township Police Department was alerted to a missing suicidal subject who had fled his residence in distress. After a perimeter was set up by the patrol officers, our K9 handler, Ptlm. Joshua Abrahamson and his partner Bolo, responded to the scene. After an extensive search through the woods, lasting approximately an hour and a half, Bolo was able to guide our patrol officers to the subject’s location where he was found unharmed. We would like to commend Bolo and all the officers involved that helped lead this incident to a successful outcome.

Our Story

Our goal in establishing this exciting organization was to create a bond amongst existing members, welcome new members, and honor those who have served in the past. We are also expanding our donations to not just bullet proof vests, but training and other safety equipment as well. We are dedicated to educating law enforcement and the public of the various functions that K-9 teams perform on a daily basis and to give back to the community.

In some of the most dangerous situations involving Police Departments across the nation, the K-9 Teams are often the first to be called to the front line. At almost 2,000 Line of Duty Deaths since 1940, the Law Enforcement Community has lost entirely too many K-9’s as a result of inadequate or unavailable body armor. Schultz’s Law, established in 2011, orders similar punishment for causing harm or death to a Police K-9, to that of causing harm of death to a human Officer. This is a major step for those in the K-9 world; however, this does not bring our beloved partners back. Without hesitation, our K-9 Partners would protect us with their lives, why not aid in protecting their lives as well?

In April of 2011, the newly reinstated Trenton Police K-9 Unit established the Capital K-9 Association, a 501-C3 non-profit organization. During this time of budget crisis throughout the nation, the founders of CK9A want to ensure that no K-9 goes unprotected due to lack of funds. The current members of the Capital K-9 Association whole-heartedly understands the importance of protecting working K-9’s. These K-9’s are not only a work partner for the Officers who are honored to work with them, but they also become a vital part of the family and community.

Through our fundraising efforts, and the generous donations of individuals and businesses that support our organization, we have been successful in outfitting working K-9’s throughout the state of New Jersey with ballistic body armor. The working K-9’s main goal is to “get the bad guy” and ensure his/her Handler makes it home to their family, the Capital K-9 Association’s main goal is to ensure that the K-9’s make it home too!
