Retired Officer Nick died.

Members of the Celina Police Department were saddened to learn this morning that retired Canine Officer NICK, the Celina Police Department’s first canine officer passed away from natural causes overnight. Nick was born in Germany on June 05, 1999. He became a member of the Celina Police Department in September of 2000. His first experience in Celina, even before training, was to visit Celina Intermediate School, where he met with students, including fifth grade DARE students, who eventually chose his American name, NICK. Students picked the name in honor of their DARE instructor at the time, Deputy Nick Schulze.

Canine Officer NICK served the Celina Police Department for ten years, a phenomenal career for a police canine. The majority of canine officers serve for five to eight years. His long career is attributed to a consistent training program he participated in with his handler Ptl. Dan Harting. During his ten year career his search and tracking abilities led to dozens of apprehensions. The last three months of his tenure NICK served as a mentor for Canine Officer TED, who was obtained by the Celina Police Department as his replacement. One of the key elements TED was able to learn from NICK was his social skills and his love of children.

NICK’s last public appearance was at the Ultimate After-School Party on June 01, 2010. Since that time he has lived with his former handler as a family pet. He was less active during retirement and had shown signs of fatigue over the last couple of days. He passed away in his sleep early this morning.
