K9 Chase - In Memoriam
On January 15, 2016, K9 Chase retired from active duty after nearly eight years of service to the City of Fitchburg Police Department. Chase passed away March 5, 2017.
Over the course of his career, K9 Chase was responsible for numerous seizures of narcotics and firearms and also assisted in locating lost citizens and wanted suspects. Often, his mere presence ensured officers were kept safe and helped de-escalate dangerous situations.
Most importantly though, Chase served as an unofficial ambassador for the department, bringing smiles to those young and old.
Chase will always be remembered for his devotion to his partner, Officer Lopez, the police department and the City of Fitchburg.
