According to a tweet from the Kingston Police Association, Zeus died unexpectedly Sunday evening.
The tweet offered condolences to Zeus’s handler, Const. Jeff Dickson. As a duo, Dickson and Zeus have been serving the Kingston community for the best part of a decade.
“Const. Dickson and Zeus were responsible for countless suspect tracks, helping locate missing persons and arrests. Your service will be missed by your co-workers and the community,” the Kingston Police Association said.
