LOCKPORT, IL After almost seven years of service, Lockport Police Department s K-9, Citgo, has retired. The 8-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Malinois has been the police K-9 for the department since August 2014.
At Wednesday s meeting of the Lockport City Council, the council approved Citgo s retirement due to his diagnosis of a degenerative condition in his spine. The council transferred ownership to Citgo s handler, officer Andrew Ganger. The dog is really good at finding drugs, finding people, but what he s best at, he s really good with people, Chief Terry Lemming said at the meeting.
