Upper Moreland Police Pay Tribute to 'Man's Best Friends'
The Upper Moreland Police Department planted a tree where four memorial stones honor the former K-9's who worked with police officers.
If you’ve ever visited the Upper Moreland Police Department, you may have missed a tree nestled in the back of the parking lot. Tucked away behind the building structure sits a memorial to the former K-9’s that worked with officers of the UMPD. There are four gravestones with the names and image of each dog that was a key part of the police force.

Did the memorial stones become the thing to do starting in 2009? I'm sure there were more k-9s than that over the years. more ›
