Handler – Detective Chris Adamson

LPD pays respect to recently passed retired K-9

The Lawton Police Department is paying its respects to a retired Police K-9 who recently passed away.Ory served on LPD for four years before retiring.After a two-month training program in Muskogee, the dog hit the streets with Detective Chris Adamson. The pair working tirelessly to keep the Lawton community safe.We spoke with Adamson about the passing of his partner and how much Ory brought to his life and to Lawton.“He mainly did narcotics, but he could also be an apprehension dog, and also track suspects and even kids that may have wandered off from a house,” Adamson said. “He could also find articles – if someone threw something we could go out and do an article search and stuff like that. During our time together we had 11 apprehensions.”Adamson said Ory made a smooth transition into being a family dog after retiring, often playing with his kids and showing nothing but care and love.We’d like to extend our condolences to him and his family as they mourn the passing of a dedicated partner and beloved part of the family.
