Fort Myers Police Department mourns the loss of beloved K-9 Thor
It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of K9 Thor. Due to rapidly declining health issues, on August 13, 2018, K9 Thor was euthanized. K9 Thor went on patrol in June 2011 with his partner K9 Officer Philip Youngblood. He was deployed 1,144 times on police calls for service. Thor located 66 felony suspects, apprehending 15 of them, and recovered 30 pieces of evidence. He also conducted 751 narcotic searches, finding illegal drugs in 298 cases. Thor was also a crowd favorite during his 61 demonstrations. He was retired from service in March of 2018.
