THE Department of Public Safety is investigating the deaths of its two K9s, Assistant Chief of Police Simon Manacop said.
DPS on Friday held a funeral service for the two police dogs, Boss and Beni, at its central office’s parking lot in Susupe. The K9s died after they were left inside a police patrol car on Sept. 8, 2024.
“Handlers were securing drug evidence at headquarters. They returned to the vehicle 30 minutes later and discovered the dogs passed out,” Manacop said.
An “officer claims the aircon died and was blowing hot air,” he added.
“The incident is being investigated by our Professional Responsibility Office or our internal affairs,” Manacop said.
