The LBPD offers its condolences to the Lancaster City Bureau of Police.

The Bureau announced today:

It is with great sadness the Lancaster City Bureau of Police announces the passing of K9 Zoltan. On Sunday, February 25, 2024, at approximately 2:20 am, Zoltan was laid to rest after Officer Hatfield, his dedicated handler of 8 years, observed his health rapidly deteriorating.

K9 Zoltan was given a police escort from his home to PETS where a line of cruisers and fellow officers awaited. It was a touching send-off, illustrating the deep respect and admiration Zoltan earned during his service.

In his final moments, Zoltan was surrounded by Officer Hatfield and family members, offering comfort as he peacefully passed away. His memory will forever be cherished, and his legacy of service will live on in the Lancaster City Bureau of Police and the community he served.

Rest in peace, Zoltan. Your dedication and loyalty will never be forgotten.
