It is with sadness that
I report the loss of Fort Morgan Police Department’s K-9, Harley.
Harley was the partner of Officer Tim Malone. He was diagnosed with
cancer recently and died on September 18th. Harley was a member of the Fort Morgan Police Department and would have completed six years of service on March 29th. He was commissioned and partnered with Tim to detect narcotics and as a patrol dog. Harley is credited with removing a substantial amount of drugs off the streets. He was active in the Fort Morgan and Brush school systems and loved the attention he received from students. He also was a very lovable and personable dog who loved what he did as a police canine for the department and the community. He was a valued member of the Malone family, and will be missed deeply by them as well as the Fort Morgan Police Department family. Harley, a German Shepherd born in Holland on May 4, 1994, was given the name “Brick V.H. Jutter’s Erf.” He was purchased with donations from the Fort Morgan community. He was trained in detecting the odor of illegal drugs, tracking, weapons, and apprehension of criminals. He graduated from the United States Police Canine Association in the summer of 1995. The death of K-9 Harley and the recent retirement of K-9 Mojko will leave the department without a police canine. Chief Keith Kuretich Fort Morgan PD, Colorado |
