K9 Skzipi
End Of Watch: 5-13-2022
The Ocean County Sheriffs Office and the Mcintyre family are mourning the loss of one of their own, K9 Szkipi. At the age of 13, Szkipi passed away peacefully with his handler, Cpl. Patrick Mcintyre, by his side.

K9 Szkipi served with the Ocean County Sheriffs Office for 10 years, still in service at the age of 13. K9 Szkipi’s long and heroic career is nothing short of amazing. K9 Szkipi and Cpl. Mcintyre were both certified as an Explosives Detection Team by the New Jersey State Police after successfully completing their rigorous scent training academy. K9 Szkipi and Cpl. Mcintyre were members of the State of New Jersey’s Render Safe Task Force, the team was deployed not only in Ocean County but throughout New Jersey for both explosive sweeps and threats to protect the citizens statewide.

K9 Szkipi loved his job and was very good at it. Working meant keeping the residents of Ocean County safe. Another bonus at work was being rewarded with either a towel or a ball while working with his best friend, Cpl. Mcintyre.

Cpl. Mcintyre and Szkipi were inseparable at work and at home. Their bond was as strong as they come. Szkipi was a beloved member of the Mcintyre family by every definition. He was a gentle pup who loved being pet by both his family and the public.

He will never, ever be forgotten.
Please join us in keeping the Mcintyre family and the Ocean County Sheriffs Office in your thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time.
Rest easy good boy. We all love you and will never forget you.
