Hanover Park's police dog dies

The Hanover Park Police Department's canine officer, Rumble, died from cancer on April 3, just two weeks after he worked his last shift.

Rumble joined the force in 1999 and worked side-by-side with his handler, Officer Mark Atkinson for more than 10 years.

In the wake of his retirement on March 19, last week the Hanover Park Village Board gave the police department direction to acquire and train a new canine officer.
