A sad day for the Evesham Township Police Department

The Evesham Police Department regrets to announce the passing of K-9 Dyos. Dyos was almost 12 years old when he was put to rest. He served as a member on the Evesham Police Departments Canine unit for eight-and-a-half years, retiring from duty in November of 2011.

During his years of service to the department Dyos assisted patrol officers on hundreds of calls for service, building searches, missing person searches, suspect apprehensions, was responsible for the arrests of countless people and the confiscation of large quantities of narcotics. Dyos was also instrumental in the seizure of numerous motor vehicles, a large amount of property and currency. He also participated in numerous community relations functions such as demonstrations for youth groups.

When the term police canine is mentioned, many people think of the invaluable crime fighting and public relations service a canine provides to the law enforcement organization and the citizens they serve, but forget the humanistic significance of the police canine. K-9 Dyos was a valued member of the Evesham Police Departments family. He was also the protector, partner, friend and family member of Officer Mark Scambia. His enthusiasm and sense of duty to the people of Evesham Township will be missed. Dyos, we salute you and thank you for your dedicated service. You will be greatly missed by handler Officer Mark Scambia, his family, and the men and women of the Evesham Police Department. May you rest in peace.
