In Loving Memory of
K-9 TEKA
April 7, 2000
Handler: Officer Gary Trumbley

Niceville Police
Department lost their K-9 Teka on April 7, 2000. K-9 Teka had just located a
small amount of marijuana in
a vehicle on a traffic stop along SR20 in
Niceville. After finding
the marijuana, she was
struck by a passing van.
The female driver slowed down, but never stopped.
Gary and another officer rushed Teka to the Emergency Vet Clinic.
Another
officer tried to get
the van to stop. Teka was dead before she got there.
She had a hell of a nose
and was our partner. We will not forget her.
UPDATE:
We had Teka cremated so we could keep her with us. When I went to pick up her
ashes, the proprietor said, “I have someone for you to meet.” There stood this
huge chocolate lab who weighs 105 lb. My first reaction was “ Does he come with
a saddle?” This beautiful dog was going to be put down that day because he bit
the finger of a woman who was shaking her finger at him!” What a waste that
would have been. Pat, my wife went to see “Buddy” (we kept his name)...and she
fell in love with him. Buddy is doing K9 work and averages 2 apprehensions a
night. We are also adding to our family, a black and tan German Shepherd puppy
which I also will train. We are getting pick of the litter, so now Buddy will
have a “buddy” to train and play.
