The Scottsdale Police Department is mourning the loss of one of its canine officers.

Officials say Kane was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer and passed away Monday.

Police say Kane served for two years as a dual-purpose narcotics and patrol K9.

Kane was responsible for many criminal apprehensions and drug-related arrests during his time with the department.

Scottsdale police say he was a beloved member and will be missed.

Kane was not only a part of the SPD family but a beloved part of his handler’s family. He was extremely social and always had a smile on his face. Please keep Kane’s family, the K9 Unit and Scottsdale Police Department in your thoughts and prayers. Rest easy buddy
