Memorial Service in Honor of Police K-9

TYLER — The Tyler Police Department held a Memorial Service in front of the police department Thursday in Honor of Magic. Magic, who died due to kidney failure last week, was one of the department’s two black Labrador K-9 dogs. Magic was with the police department from 2001 to 2010, and police say he did an outstanding job in detecting drugs for the Narcotics Unit. The handler and partner for Magic was Officer Steve Black, who was the second handler in Magic’s prestigious career with the department.
