    We are heartbroken to report that K9 Ronja was killed in the line of duty early today. K9 Ronja sacrificed herself to save the life of her partner and her fellow officers. Her name means “bringing victory”. To us Ronja will forever mean bringing valor. bit.ly/TPDronja

    Officers were contacted by a dad who is stuck out of country due to the travel restrictions. His son is celebrating a birthday today and loves the police and police cars. Officers drove by during shift change and gave the young man a birthday wave!
