The Egg Harbor Township Police Department would like to announce the retirement of K-9 Jax.

After being diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia earlier this year, his handler, Sgt. John Beattes was transporting him up to Saint Francis Veterinary Center South Jersey on a regular basis for care and treatments. Unfortunately K-9 Jax is unable to return to the streets and has retired from service. He will remain at home with Sgt. Beattes and his family.

Congratulations go out to Sgt. Beattes & K-9 Jax for being a very productive K-9 team and we wish K-9 Jax a happy and comfortable retirement.
