The Monroe Police Department is welcoming a new K-9 to its force.
Keen is an 18-month-old German shepherd who will graduate from K-9 academy on Friday.
Keen is named after fallen former NYPD Detective Brian Mulkeen, who was killed by friendly fire while attempting to make an arrest in the Bronx in 2019.
Mulkeen lived in Yorktown Heights but grew up in Monroe, where his roots still run deep. He s a hometown hero here in Monroe, he s a Monroe Woodbury graduate,” says Chief Darwin Guzman, of the Monroe Police Department. “We felt having the opportunity to name our K-9 in memory and dedication to Brian Mulkeen would be an honor for us to be able to do so.

After Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd last May, Black Lives Matter protests, petitions, fund raisers and social media campaigns pressured police departments throughout the country to reform.
Chauvin was found guilty on three counts of murder. President Biden is pushing the Senate to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which would create a national standard. It calls for greater police accountability, and would stop problem officers from moving from one department to another and end certain police practices. The bill cleared the House in March.

Alarmed by police-involved deaths and racially biased law enforcement in New York and elsewhere, Governor Andrew Cuomo has decreed that municipal police agencies must reinvent themselves.
Cuomo mandated in June, shortly after the death of George Floyd and the resulting protests in Minneapolis, that all of New York’s 500 municipal police agencies, including 32 in Orange County, must review their policies and procedures and enlist stakeholders in a “collaborative” effort to develop a plan for improvements.
