Canine Joker EOW: 02/02/1987

Today we take a moment to reflect on the passing of Penn Hills police Canine Joker, who loyally served our community until his death in the line of duty.  

Joker was three years old when his police service was cut short, only working for one year with his handler, Officer Paul Schawalder. 

Joker’s memory will forever remain in our hearts.  He was a faithful and loyal four-legged servant who loved coming to work to take a bite out of crime!
