Handler – Officer Jon Hoffmeister
Bloomington police officer bids goodbye to retired K-9 partner Pongo
We at BPD are mourning the death of K9 Pongo, who served the department and the citizens of this community from February 2009 until December 2013. Pongo worked with K9 Officer Dana Cole and K9 Officer Jon Hoffmeister. Pongo is shown in the photos below as a young pup with Officer Cole, working night shift with Officer Hoffmeister, protecting his car, and also later in life as he enjoyed retirement. He will be missed.
