by OCPD,
The OCPD family is mourning the loss of one of our retired police service dogs. “Uno” passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his handler and family. Uno joined the OCPD in December of 2012 after being imported and trained at Shallow Creek Kennels in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. Handled by PFC Kevin Flower, Uno worked as a patrol/narcotic detection team until his retirement in March of 2021.
“He was an absolute perfect K-9. He did everything well and almost never took his eyes off me. He was incredibly obedient, confident, courageous and clear minded. He was equally balanced at home where he could relax and just be a dog. He will be deeply missed by our family”, said PFC Flower of his partner.
Incidentally, the news of Uno’s passing came on “National Police K9 Day”. We love our K-9’s and the selfless sacrifice they provide to the men and women of the Ocean City Police Department, the residents and visitors to the Town of Ocean City and Worcester County.
