Our sincere condolences to the fallen KCPD officer, his K-9 partner, the entire KCPD force, his family and friends. You're all heroes and we are all thankful and behind you every step of the way.Last night, just after 10:15pm a Police Canine Officer and his Canine Partner were on duty and on patrol in the area of Truman Rd and Benton Blvd when their patrol car was struck by another vehicle. The collision caused a secondary impact with a pedestrian.
The pedestrian was declared deceased at the scene. The Police Canine was killed at the scene as well. The officer was transported to the hospital with critical injuries. Doctors made every attempt at treatment but tragically he was declared deceased at the hospital.
The driver of the citizen vehicle has minor injuries and is in custody for further investigation
Accident Investigation Section is completing the accident reconstruction and the investigation will be led by the Traffic Investigation Section.
The officer was a 20 year veteran of the KCPD and had been assigned to the Canine Unit for nearly 3 years. His Canine partner was an approximately 1 year veteran of the KCPD
Please keep the officer’s family, the pedestrian’s family and the whole Kansas CIty Missouri Police Department in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with this terrible tragedy.
That is awesome congratulations.
