💔 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Alaska State Trooper K9 Lenox on December 3, 2024, after suffering a medical emergency while off-duty.
K9 Lenox faithfully served alongside his handler, Trooper Brian Hibbs, since September 2019 in Fairbanks. Over his impressive 5-year career, he deployed more than 450 times, seizing illegal drugs and assets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and helping apprehend violent offenders. His heroic actions saved lives, including his handler’s and a victim of a violent crime.
Known not only for his extraordinary skill but also for his warmth, K9 Lenox was beloved by the community, regularly attending events with schools and youth groups. His sudden loss is deeply felt by his handler, the AST family, and all those he served. 🐾💙
Rest in peace, K9 Lenox. You were truly one of a kind. 🌈✨
